CRG in Glastonbury has such great vibes . The routes are nothing short of amazing, offering a diverse range of challenges that cater to climbers of all levels. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced climber, the routes test your skills and keep you coming back for more.

Brent, CRG's current manager, has made a noticeable difference. His enthusiasm for climbing is evident, always willing to offer tips and support to help you improve. The staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The gym is meticulously maintained and ensures a comfortable and safe environment for all members.

CRG is a top-notch facility that truly excels in every aspect. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an outstanding climbing experience.

The air conditioning still has not been turned on for the building. The air quality is also really poor due to all the chalk dust in the air. Many other climbing gyms do not have these issues. It’s a shame cause the climbing itself is great but the condition of the building needs to be much improved.

I have been going to Central Rock Gym with my three children for about 3 or 4 years. Never had any type of problems until today. While my daughter was climbing, I was approached by a staff member. As my daughter was climbing, we got into a long conversation about my belay technique. I was very confused and distracted by all the questions. Apparently, there was an issue with the style of belay technique that I use. When I use a tube belay I use the PBUS technique, when I use my mechanical brake assisted, Petzl Grigri I use PBAS. This is because my daughter can climb very fast and PBUS takes longer especially when using the grigri. I am not a pro and am very much an amateur my kids are the ones that are the athletes. I told the staff member I would be happy to only use PBUS method if that is the gym police. Safety is very important to me, that is why I use the grigri. Most accidents I know about happen when the belayer get distracted. This is why the staff member should have waited until my daughter was not climbing.
I was told I was not allowed to belay without an hour to hour and half course. The staff member claimed he could not find my belaying records in their computer system.
I do have to say I am old and this if the first time I have ever been booted out of any place, but they were nice about it.
They had a birthday party going on that made most of the auto belays unavailable so how people are supposed to climb? I assure you I filled out all the required paperwork! I have followed all of Central Rock Gym written policies. Maybe there is some part of the interaction that I am missing. The staff member seemed new but was nice.

I started climbing here in September of 2022 and haven't looked back. This gym has helped foster my love for climbing, and I am so grateful.

The staff are extremely nice, the classes are solid and fun (and d with a membership), and there are cool events and pop-ups at the facility regularly.

They reset regularly, which keeps it interesting, but there's enough space that your projects stay up for at least a month. I use my guest pass every month, introducing new folks to rock climbing and my new favorite hobby.

The community at the gym is very friendly. I've made many friends at the bouldering walls or autobelays, and if I need a belay partner, it's never hard to find one.

I'd love if they ran some intro to outdoor climbing classes or workshops, but I know that would likely require a lot of setup/effort.

Definitely not the swankiest of the Central Rock locations and the membership and day pass prices keep climbing, but still fun to be at! The expanded parking lot has helped a lot. The services seem to be dropping a bit, too, along with the rising prices. Feels like we're paying for them to open new locations.

Huge gym with interesting routes. Lots of great lead routes with good caves / roofs. Good number of top ropes also. There were four autobelays that were quite crowded. Some routes felt a bit soft in the grading, but more importantly they were still dynamic and fun and were consistent relative to the gym. Large beginner top rope area. Bouldering and training area was also large. Lots of exercise and gym equipment overlooking the climbing floor. Day passes were a bit pricey, but child passes included gear.
