    I have been to most of the gyms in the area and Stronghold is always my favorite. They are dog friendly, have great route setters, have a number of autobelays, have a diverse community and a wide range of ages, and the owners come to the gym and climb with us and listen to our concerns and suggestions.

    Best indoor lead climbing in so cal. Great routes that are changed out on schedule. The gym also offers day care and super fun events every month.

    All around a very supportive environment. It was my first to climb and yet there was never a time that I felt intimidated or out of place. Kudos to the staff, members and guests that promote and foster that atmosphere.

    This gym is owned and run by Peter and Kate, two fabulous people that really care about the climbing community. On a karma level, they give back far more than they will ever take in through a business. Their level of caring and passion for the sport and the people who are a part of it is apparent in how they run their gym. I love to climb here because its more than just another gym, its a community that thrives on each other with lots of positive energy to be spread around.

    Great vibe. Great staff. Great community. Love this place - a real gem. I joined straight away after my first lesson.

    First lesson is a bit long and not the most fun experience.. but it's a necessary step to take. Once you get through it you're golden.

    I started climbing at Stronghold about a month ago after taking the intro to climbing class. The climbing class taught by Peter was great - I was very comfortable with starting to climb and had no problems passing the belay test (which is needed to belay others for safety reasons). The staff is super courteous and everything is always clean. They even stock their restrooms and showers with good soap and lotions. I moved away from LA, but will definitely be back to visit every time I'm in town!
