- EMEmily McJun 28, 20265.0I had my daughter’s 8th birthday party here - the staff were wonderful and the kids all had a great time ! They have a huge number of walls to climb !
- AAAndyJun 19, 20265.0Very cool atmosphere, walls are great, gym's functional, not much else you can ask for
- AWAstra WallaceMay 25, 20265.0Visited CRG Buffalo with my sister to see her third place and had a lovely time. The staff member that checked us in and top rope tested us was thorough, professional, and friendly. Likewise the manager that lead tested us. Everything I climbed (5.10 to 5.12) was creatively set and the hold selection was top notch. Thanks for a great morning of climbing!
- RRRogue RoseMay 22, 20265.0Love this gym! Great climbs, always clean. Good customer service.
- JDJohanna C. DominguezMay 22, 20265.0I have been climbing off and on since 2003 and have climbed in multiple states as well as internationally in Africa, so I’ve had the chance to experience quite a few different gyms over the years. I’ve also held memberships at several gyms and can honestly say that CRG Buffalo has become my favorite. One of the things I appreciate most is the setting. I find the grading and route quality stronger and more thoughtful than many gyms I’ve climbed at in Maryland, DC, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Routes are changed regularly, which keeps things fresh and gives you a reason to keep coming back. I usually climb in the mornings with a group of regulars, and it has become one of my favorite parts of my routine. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are consistently kind and helpful, and I’ve met a lot of genuinely wonderful people here. Whether you’re brand new to climbing or have been at it for years, this gym has done an excellent job creating a space that is fun, challenging, and community-oriented. Highly recommend.
Frequently Asked Questions About Central Rock Gym - Buffalo
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.
