No water allowed. I came here on a weekly basis for years. But this year, they passed a new rule that no water bottles are allowed in the climbing area. If you don't drink much water maybe this is fine, but if you do, it is quite inconvenient to have to run back and forth to the front of the gym. I drink a lot of water, at least 2 gallons per day and need a drink after each boulder or sport route. The inconvenience is so great that I will not come to this gym as long as this rule is in place. I'm thankful to live in a city with multiple good climbing gyms.

Pretty cool gym - has rope and boulder (I only bouldered). When I went it was crazy busy and a lot of kids, so if you're looking for a more chill experience, maybe see if there's a specific chill time to visit (I went noon on a saturday).

Clean, friendly staff, parking lot.

Setting was alright there was some pretty diverse overhang routes.

Nice space with bouldering and top rope. About 6 autobelays were available. Staff were able to give testing for top ropes upon walking in. Nice parking lot area that was not full on a Sunday at 1pm, but I'm sure fills up during the week during peak hours. Its a nice gym with nice energy. Generally pretty standard.

Any gym can have an impressive facility. The hard thing to find is quality route setting and a frequent turnover of new routes. This gym has a lot challenging routes for advanced climbers while also having plenty of fun climbs for beginners on the auto belays. Very happy to have this gym in town.

Itโ€™s a nice gym BUT Itโ€™s overcrowded which is why they keep increasing pricing (it doesnโ€™t matter if people quit). The membership cost is now up to $80 for a pass at one gym, and now you have to pay for rentals even with a passโ€ฆ My shoes blew out this month so it looks like iโ€™m going to be wasting over a $100-125 on climbingโ€ฆ & will then cancel membership ๐Ÿ™ƒ -For perspective this used to be $70 & was a fair price.

I work at a climbing gym and Climb Time Oakley exceeded my expectations! Itโ€™s a great facility with a variety of boulder options and terrains (as a V6/7 indoor boulderer I felt challenged and the routes were pretty hard for the grade). I had a decently long session there and plan to go back for more!

They have tons of auto belay options (on one section, they have 14 routes spread across 2 auto belays - 7 routes per lane ๐Ÿคฏ).

The staff was very friendly, and the route setters were incredibly good at what they do.

I was visiting from out of town and trying to decide which facility to go to, Oakley did not disappoint.

It's really nice having a gym closer to me! The boulder problems well set, you will never be too short or too tall to complete any given route, absolutely love it. VERY clean facility, feedback board is a great touch. Personally my favorite gym in the Cincinnati area, if its the people, lighting, music, or climbs i do not know, but its a killer facility.

This is my favorite rock climbing gym! The atmosphere is nothing but friendly. Even though there are some really tough walls, and it's definitely a great place for experienced climbers, Climb Time is really friendly to climbers of all skill levels (even if you've never climbed before!). The staff are super helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. If you don't have equipment, you can rent it for a pretty low price and it's still good quality stuff. The pricing here is also really good in comparison to other places I've seen. I can't wait to come back!

My home gym away from home, I make sure to visit Oakley every time I'm in the cincinnati area. The gym is bright, the holds are fresh, the routes are original, and the staff is helpful and friendly. With a varied boulder wall, dedicated training area, moonboard, suite of autobelays, toprope, and lead routes. If you're coming through the north side of cincinnati on your way to the red or new river this summer, make sure to take a pitstop, get out and stretch, and train indoors a bit. It'll be worth it.

Great place to top rope or boulder. The building is massive so there is a lot of availability for routes. There's two main sections for bouldering, one on the first floor one on the second. If you don't know how to belay there are auto-belays available to climb with. There's also an available ping pong table and bench press in case you want to take a break from climbing and do something else

I am a huge fan of Climb Time! The Oakley location has numerous walls for both bouldering and rope climbing. They reset routes at a good pace; just enough to finish the ones that challenged you the last time you visited before tackling new ones. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, answering any questions you may have and providing assistance. It's beginner, intermediate, and advanced climber friendly; there's something there for everyone!
