What our members are saying

“I love this place!! very nice community— staff and members are all very kind. facilities are great. the locker rooms are clean. they have a sauna and also provide gender neutral bathrooms. theres routes and boulders. the boulders get changed around once a month.”

Chelsea

“The Studio Climbing in San Jose feels like home. Compared to Pacific Pipe, which has a more corporate, warehouse-style vibe, The Studio has a welcoming, community-driven atmosphere that makes you want to stay and hang out. The staff is always friendly, the setting is creative and consistently fresh, and the layout makes it easy to connect with other climbers.”

Nichoolas

“I had been dying to get into climbing but always found it a bit intimidating. the studio makes me feel welcome and provides a fantastic environment for beginners. the intro class taught me everything i needed to feel prepared to climb with partners. plenty of routes available to move up and challenge yourself.”

Maddy

“We've been members here for over a year, and the location, staff, walls, upkeep, and overall vibe is a ton of fun. Great for our kids, the competitions are a good time, and compact but very effective gym space as well. We love it here! Not too crowded most all of the time either.”
