Dogpatch Boulders - San Francisco, California

Sodastream Teufel

Große Halle mit sehr vielen Routen mit 10 verschiedenen Schwierigkeitsstufen. Für 30$ Eintritt bekommt man auch was geboten. Duschen, Sauna, Wasserspender, Fitnessecke mit Laufbändern und verstellbarer Überhang-Simulator fürs Krafttraining.

Es gibt auch eine Ecke für Kinder mit Mini-Routen. Vor Ort können Klamotten, Schuhe und weitere Ausrüstung erstanden werden.
Als Top-Service zähle ich die kostenlose Erste-Hilfe-Ecke mit Pflastern, Desinfektionsmittel, Feuchtigkeitscreme und Nagelknipsern. Das hab ich sonst noch in keiner Boulderhalle gesehen.

Dogpatch Boulders is hands down one of the best climbing gyms in the Bay Area! The facility is massive, with walls for all levels—from beginner to advanced. The route setting is creative and challenging, keeping things fresh and exciting every time I visit.

The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help with tips or advice. The community vibe here is amazing—welcoming and encouraging, no matter your skill level.

One of the highlights? They have a sauna in each of the locker rooms! It’s the perfect way to unwind after a tough session on the walls. Combine that with their clean and well-maintained gym, spacious training areas, and even a yoga studio, and this place really has it all. Highly recommend for climbers of all levels!

Staff is super nice and helpful, the routes are great and there is a wide range for everyone from beginners to experts. Mainly a bouldering gym but I believe is has belays on the top floor (?) The people here are pretty awesome too. Day pass is $30 which may be a bit pricey but is average for SF. Would recommend and would come again!

It’s cool each touchstone gym has its own vibe with this being one of my favorites. You’d find many of the things you’d expect to find as a touchstone member here. I love that no gym is the same and yet still similar in many aspects.

This place is just perfect! They maintain the holds really well and the facility itself is very clean. In addition, they frequently reset the walls to replace old climbs with new ones. They have a nice workout area as well for all your lifting needs!

They now have a resoling service in Dogpatch by the name of V12 Resole. They did an excellent job.

Had a lot of fun by myself. Not crowded on a Wednesday morning in December. So many walls/routes to choose from. Can use real chalk (unlike my local indoor climbing gym, which only allows liquid chalk). All areas (including bathrooms/locker rooms) are very clean. Temperature just right inside. The holds feel good (not greasy). The routes are fun to climb and figure out—the grades seem to scale for both technique and strength rather than just strength/height. Wish I had more time here. Looking forward squeezing in another session here the next time I’m in SF.

Caveats: 5’0” petite climber. Experience: ~1.5 yrs @ average ~2 sessions per week.

Big facility with lots of routes, but one of the dirtiest gyms I’ve ever seen. No one brushes holds and everything is sitting in a layer of chalk and rubber. I left with blackened hands. Comp wall was fun routes but the rest felt pretty samey. Quantity over quality routesetting where I didnt feel the need to go to the fourth or fifth overhang section. Cant emphasize the amount of chalk and rubber, I could scoop it with my hand off the holds.

Dogpatch boulders is the premise spot for bouldering in SF. Mission cliffs, its' sister gym, has a tiny bouldering section. I usually go early in the morning and there are literally only like 10-20 people there. It's perfect. The difficulty is maybe a bit greater here than other places. I wish the "V" system was uniform across all gyms.
