Central Rock Gym 600 North Franklin Street, Syracuse, NY 13204

"Very large spaces with lots of bouldering and ropes courses. Everything from beginner to very experienced courses. Super friendly staff. Many training and instruction options. Give them a try even if you are a beginner."

"Photo taken at the bouldering competition held at CRG Syracuse, courtesy of the gym. This is easily my favorite place to be. The atmosphere is always incredible, the staff are the coolest people you'll meet, and the whole place has a strong value in community. Good for first timers (unlike some other gyms) as well as experienced/advanced climbers. So much to do no matter what your experience level is. Youth programs are immaculate. Their kids are such good climbers!"

"Awesome gym! Friendly staff, great routes, tons of options and space, open all day and into the night, safe location. Used a Groupon for my family to learn to belay and that was a great deal. Would love for there to be auto belays on harder routes in case you don’t have someone to belay you. Otherwise if I lived in the area, I’d definitely have a membership."

"This is an amazing place to learn if you are a beginner but it is also amazing for advanced climbers! The staff was amazing and knowledgeable. We brought our 3 and 5 year olds. They had the time of Thier lives!"

"Jaw Dropping is the only way to describe this place. The gym has been open a little more than two months. I went to take a tour of the place and probably have fallen in love with rock climbing. First off, the staff are extremely accommodating. My daughter and I were given a full tour of all the amenities of the place. Our guide answered all our questions and explained different memberships in full. This is much more than just a climbing wall. It also has a full functioning fitness area. It includes cardio equipment, weight machines and free weights, too. There is a huge yoga room that is also part of the facility. Fully functioning men and women locker rooms really seal the deal. Their prices are ridiculously good. Not only do you get access to the multitude of walls, but also access to all classes and weight equipment. I am looking forward to returning to Central Rock to get my climb on!"
