spire climbing center

We had my son's Bday party here and the staff was excellent. The kids had an absolute blast and we felt they were kept safe climbing. There is a room upstairs where they let you do the cake thing. It was great.

Great climbing center, newly added on, Good people. Well marked worked out routes. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a phenomenal year round indoor climbing center. Super tall walls make for long climbs for any experience level. For the experience climber, there's even holds on the ceiling. Great instruction for beginners. Setups for top rope, lead climbing, and bouldering. They recently added a couple self-belay systems so you can climb solo if you want. A great asset to the Bozeman community. They also offer many educational clinics throughout the year. You can have a birthday party at the gym. They also provide guided outdoor climbs in the area. And on top of all that, they are in the process of expanding which will make for an enormous climbing gym.

Spire Climbing Center is a great place to visit year round in Bozeman, Montana. The atmosphere is very welcoming for beginners, tourists, special groups, and recreational climbers while simultaneously providing challenging routes and problems for the most experienced climbers. In fact, the laid back and community atmosphere can hide the fact that world-class climbers and mountaineers may be working out next to a family trying climbing for the first time. Fees are modest for day use or memberships. The only drawbacks are fluctuating crowds when day camps or after school programs are in session. This issue, along with overall crowding in administrative, locker and restroom areas will be alleviated with the forthcoming expansion (fall '14/winter '15). Routes and problems are well set and fairly graded, plastic is routinely cleaned, and walls have a "frictioned" yet forgiving finish. Super friendly and never pretentious.

Well kept facilities, nice routes, professional, knowledgeable & unpretentious staff (double bonus!) ... So glad to have found this hidden gem in Bozeman. After 20+ years out of climbing, it was a welcomed fit to find, and really the staff there make it top notch.Hat's off to Lee, and the Intro class instruction .... I'll be making many aliens & patting them on the head for times to come. :) Looks to be a great family place & "adventure kid" friendly. Thank you.

The new walls are nice, and can't wait for them to expand the facility. I take disabled folks here in the summer as part of an adventure program and they never cease to deliver. The participants love it.

well, i don't climb but my college freshman son does; he's addicted to it; his girlfriend back east was a nationally ranked climber and they climbed at a local rock gym. He says this place is just flat out fantastic.

Spire offers something for everyone...a fun bouldering room, lots of lead climbing, and top roping for any ability level. I especially love the quality of the route setting, the friendly staff, and the flooring. Having visited many gyms around the country, Spire is one of the cleaner and well-kept facilities I've been to thus far.

This gym stands out among the many climbing gyms I have visited across the US and world. While it is not as large as those in metropolitan areas like Sunnyvale and Boulder, the routes are consistently good quality. I have climbed in gyms in Sunnyvale CA, Boulder CO, Albuquerque NM, Amsterdam, Melbourne, and several in Sydney Australia. While many were larger gyms and some had higher ceilings for longer routes, none were as reliably challenging or as accurate on route difficulty. This gym is great for the serious climber as well as the casual, and I have taken my young family and out of town guests with everyone enjoying the facility.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Big bouldering room, half the walls are top-rope, other half set up for lead climbing. Gets very warm and busy on a Sunday afternoon--midday during the week is better

Thank you for the review! Glad to hear you had a good time! Hope to see you again soon.

Fantastic indoor climbing gym. The routes are varied and fun, there's levels for all skills. The staff are friendly and helpful. They offer great classes on everything from self rescue to overcoming fear of falling.
