- CWCoral WrightJun 9, 20265.0Lots of room to climb, and they create new routes often so you're never unchallenged. Also, John is one of the workers and he was super sweet! He helped me with my technique a few times and would check in every so often to see how I was doing.
- SMScott MisturiniJun 1, 20265.0Visiting our friends and wanted to check out a local gym. We went to this location and the Harvard location. Both locations have amazing setting. Mega props to the setters. Grades were extremely accurate IMO. Harvard location had slightly softer grading, but it was still super fun. Cambridge location has three LED boards and a great training area. The right side walls of Cambridge location have some super fun problem. I didn’t get a chance to try anything on it, but they have a section that’s probably about 30 degrees and tops at flat, that wall looked packed with fun problems. The left side seems to be more comp style, had a blast there too. Boulder of the week on the left wall was really fun.
- IHIsabelle HoMay 15, 20265.0hard, but really well air conditioned
- MZMichael ZhelonkinaMay 11, 20264.0I love this central rock and the new upgrades are fire, but you could get a fifth star if you get a heavy punching bag in the back
- LHLissy HermanApr 3, 20265.0I'm a 5' tall woman and this is the only gym I can go to where I know there will always be several challenging climbs that still feel accessible to me. Thank you for not neglecting shorter climbers. Also, the staff is friendly and amenities are nice.
Frequently Asked Questions About Central Rock Gym - Cambridge
Do I need a Participation Agreement?
Yes, you need a Participation Agreement! Climbing is an inherently dangerous sport. We require a Participation Agreement from every visitor to the gym in order to stay in operation and for insurance purposes.
All customers under the age of 18 MUST have a Participation Agreement signed by a parent or legal guardian. Grandparents, siblings, and teachers do not count.
I have never been climbing before, what are my options?
You have a number of options depending on the Central Rock Gym location you choose to visit.
Bouldering Only Facility:
You can climb on our bouldering walls. Bouldering does not require ropes, instead it focuses on shorter walls (10 – 14 feet tall) with significantly more padding on the ground. Partners are not required for this style of climbing. Check out our First Time Boulderer video for more information. A short bouldering orientation from a CRG staff member is required for this type of climbing.
Rope Facility:
You can take an intro belay class to learn all the requirements for using the facility. This class typically takes a little over 1 hour and can be registered online. Once completed you’ll have full access to the gym and have skills to allow you to belay anywhere in the country!
Many of our rope gym locations have “Staff Belay” which is a program where our staff provide all the assistance to let you climb on ropes without taking classes. Space is limited to 4 climbers per group so pre-registration is recommended. We will pair multiple groups together until we get to the maximum size of 4 participants.
