Pacific Pipe

Been going for a year and I can’t get over how great of a facility Pacific Pipe is. There’s plenty of walls for boulders and sports climbing. The routes reset often so it never gets boring. Kaya is accessible for all the beta help you need. Even the gym equipments are well maintained and new machines are still being added. The locker rooms and showers are cleaned and well stocked. The community here is also top notch.

Absolutely incredible gym, two floors of bouldering… so much that it’s rather hard to touch every wall in one session. The route setting is pretty solid! Not the best routes always but there are so many that there is bound to be great ones and some more niche styles. Tough to say I tried everything … but I can say the staff was super nice and the community here is vibrant too. Definitely a staple gym if local, and something to seek out if staying in the area.

Very lively rock climbing gym with all ages. Friendly people, good yoga and other classes, too. There’s a taco truck in front full time with reasonable prices so you don’t have to go hungry.

Pacific Pipe is a great climbing gym that offers a truly excellent experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the friendly and efficient staff. Even though there was a line for check-in, it moved quickly and smoothly without feeling rushed, which is a testament to how well-staffed and organized they are. I needed to take a belay test, and that process was equally efficient, organized, and professional. The climbing itself is fantastic. There's a great variety of climbs to suit all skill levels, and the two floors of bouldering offer a wide range of unique challenges. It was also fun and inspiring to watch some of the expert climbers tackling the more difficult routes. Despite the gym being busy, it never felt overcrowded; there was always plenty of room to climb and move around. Overall, I had a great experience at Pacific Pipe. The combination of friendly staff, efficient processes, diverse climbing options, and a clean and spacious environment makes it a must-visit for any climber. Highly recommend!

Went to PP for fitness classes & workshops as part of the free “Fit with Pride” event. Didn’t do any climbing, but the place looks like a climbing mecca with huge spaces for top-roping & bouldering, shoe rental, pro shop gear, locker room w ample showers/towels/sauna. There was even a food truck out front. They have a good yoga room, cardio equipment, an open exercising space, free weights & machines – though Iron Works probably has more weight lifting & strength training options. Bike parking area was generous and bike routes to/from Berkeley/Emryvl/Albany were safe & easy.
