Triangle Rock Club - Richmond

"The bouldering room is awesome and there is a good number of auto belays if you’re ever there alone and want to hit the walls. There is always a good amount of different route difficulties so finding something that suits your ability level is pretty easy and you won’t get bored. The staff are very welcoming and glad to help if you need assistance or have a question. The weight room is a little small so it can get crowded but it has a decent amount of equipment for cardio and strength building. There is a good number of classes scattered throughout the day so it’s pretty easy to find something that works with your schedule. They have a ton of events every month and they write them on the glass wall of the bouldering room and whoever writes them on there has the coolest hand writing."

"I have been to many climbing gyms on both the east and west coast. I primarily boulder, and occasionally top rope. This gym was the worst I’ve been to, and I don’t plan on returning. Overall, the vibe was off, discouraging, and difficult to have fun. - the bouldering route setting is erratic and feels clunky. My gf and I couldn’t get into any kind of flow with the routes. We both came away with minor injuries too. We typically climb in the v3-v5 range, but were struggling with many v1-v2 climbs here. - there was a lack of lighting in the boulder area; it felt like a dungeon with poor air ventilation. - the waiver signing process took a long time - it was crowded with children who were not respecting other climbers on the wall There were some other incidents with the facilities, but I chalk those up to one-time events (hopefully). I went in with high hopes, but it was difficult to stay optimistic about this gym as my experience unfolded."

"Visited a few friends in RVA, and I always wanted to check out the climbing gyms here, so I had o give Triangle a visit! Boulders: Plenty of boulder routes and the walls were left plenty of space across one another. The route grading here is fair for the most part. There are some route setters that set a couple of V1s that I didn't agree with, almost kind of gatekeeping beginner climbers from attempting climbs due to the route set. But overall, plenty of awesome routes to try. Top Rope: Top rope area is across the bouldering area, and its really nice. Plenty of walls with a fair amount of auto belays. Grading here was pretty fair from what I saw. The Gym: Gym area was very nice. Very clean and spacious, with a ton of quality equipment to go around. Also a nice perk here is that there is a sauna and an ice bath in one area! Overall, a 4/5! Very solid climbing gym. Nice boulder/Top Rope walls and staff here are friendly! I'll be back for sure."

"This is a very impressive climbing gym. I was visiting from out of town and came in solo to get a climb in, didn’t know what to expect. The space is huge, tons of routes for bouldering, top rope, and lead. Everything is clean, organized, well lit, and overall just very comfortable. The amenities are outstanding. Large fitness center, nice big yoga room, sauna, steam room, hot tub, cold plunge tank, and more. The staff was really friendly and made it so easy. I could have stayed all day and would be at this gym constantly if I lived in Richmond. Definitely an incredible facility and resource to the climbing community in RVA. Thanks for the hospitality!"

"We are attending a free Rock climbing class for our kids. This place is pretty amazing. First, it appears to be very clean and well kept. They also seem to have quite of few different things you can do here. Rock climbing, Bouldering, Yoga, Fitness, Weightlifting, Spa area and Lounge. Talking with their staff, they seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. One of the instructors is even a student of my wife's, who rides his unicycle to school, we just think he's pretty cool. We are hoping that the kids enjoy the class. Pretty sure even if we don't sign up for the classes, we will be back to have some fun."
