  Fantastic experience, largely thanks to my very encouraging instructor, Jason. I'd never done anything like this before and I'm my fitness level is weak, but Jason showed me how I could still do this and see improvement. The space itself is also really cool and includes regular gym equipment and yoga classes and even an area to do work on your laptop! It very much felt like a tight-knit but open community. This class is also a great deal through Dabble because it's cheaper than what's listed on Brooklyn Boulders' website, and you also get another free day pass to come back! I will definitely be back!

  Last time I rock climbed was when I was in elementary school. This class was a great one as a newbie. First part of the class was focusing on techniques. Second half was climbing a wall or two. Class participants were all encouraging towards one another which is nice. Came on my own which was cool because you really just focus on yourself. Did I look clumsy? Of course, but I had a good time!

  I was looking for something fun to do and the Brooklyn Boulders Intro to Climbing seemed to fit. I have never climbed before so I was a little nervous, but the instructor (Rob) was great! We got a little technique, safety best practices, and even climbing history in the one hour lesson. I had plenty of opportunities to practice and left exhausted but happy with what I was able to accomplish in one day.

  I have been wanting to try out climbing for a while and it seems so daunting to just get it started on my own. So I decided to take a class to learn the basics and not throw myself out there. And I am really glad that I did!

  The instructor was very encouraging even for people who were afraid of heights. He didn't push you to do things that you were not comfortable with. Also very knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend this to anyone who is thinking about trying out but is scared to go with your experienced friends.

  I went to this event with three friends. We were joined by three more climbers for a total of seven. Maddie, our teacher (Sorry if I misspelled the name!), was wonderfully sweet and funny, but still had a firm enough control of the group to make sure people knew the safe falling and descent rules on the basic bouldering setup before we moved on. We were offered the chance to try four or five routes on the bouldering sections, including the scary cave underhang, and then a chance at the big wall. The value for the cost is extremely high and we all had a great time; I plan on bringing several other friends in the next month or two and may well sign up with the gym myself once my current gym membership runs out.

  This was my first time at a climbing gym and Brooklyn Boulders was very impressive! The environment was positive and welcoming, the patrons and teachers were friendly and communicative, and the facility itself was clean and colorful. We started by learning the basics in bouldering and auto-belay climbing, and then had the rest of the night to keep exploring the rest of the walls (although, you may be sore after the first hour-- and for the next 2 days...!) Climbing was great work out :)

  I think this was a lot of fun! They teach you the basics of bouldering and climbing. What they do not really make clear on this description is that after the class is over, you have a day pass to do as you please around the facility. That was a pleasant surprise! Ignore one of the earlier comments that said it was a lot of standing around. You do take turns, but you have lots of time after to do what you want. I'd totally recommend this to someone who wants to try out bouldering.

  It was actually a blind date. It turns out only the two of us had signed up for the class and for both of us it was our first time. We're both in good shape and fairly athletic but had never climbed before. It was all right but personally I would have liked a bit more instruction from our teacher.
  I wouldn't recommend this activity if you're not in good to great physical condition already. Core body and leg strength is more important that arm strength, believe it or not, but shoulder strength is also key. You get more winded than you expect. Forty-five minutes is enough for a first time.
  Also, not a bad activity for a first date.

  The Brooklyn Boulders facility is very cool, and everyone working there was super nice. It was very crowded, which was a little tough when having a class, because we kept having to wait for others to use the wall before us. We definitely learned a lot from our instructor on climbing technique, and went on many different types of bouldering walls. I wish we had had a little more help when heading towards the big wall, though. They ended the class after just the bouldering walls and then handed us a harness and told us to go do the auto-belay basically on our own. Learned a lot, but wish it was a little more organized!
