Reviews of Crux Rock Climbing Gym (Gym)

Nate Otto

The owners' investment in the place seems to be increasing. It's always got nice people climbing.

Emily Barron

I enjoy climbing here, nice social place to meet new people and routes are changed periodically. Overall polite and friendly staff.

Went tonight for my first time and was nervous but as soon as I got there everybody was so nice! My instructor Gloria was so patient, knowledgeable and amazing , I quickly felt comfortable and was able to do something I wasn't sure I could. So many places to clb, so many amazing climbers. 5 stars

This gym has been a second home for me since the moment I walked in the door four months ago. This family gym has everything from lead climbing, top roping to auto belays. They will even take people climbing outdoors. On Monday it's females night, so if you are in the area one of the female climber volunteers will give you catch. Another perk of this gym is it has weights, a yoga class and lots of other toys to play with. People are super friendly so pop in a climb some walls.

Such a great place!

Erica Rodriguez

I came here for the first time today during Ladies Night. It was a blast! All the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. They also had a great sense of safety for everyone climbing and those just watching. They offer great advice to improve your climbing and make it easier. I highly recommend this place. Looking forward to coming again!

Great routesetting, good for beginners through advanced climbers, great monthly rates.

Zach Smith

Had a blast on my birthday. Front desk help was super nice and despite being my first time we were able to climb a lot of routes. Great fun, great workout too!

Audrey Riddell

Visited from Corvallis and loved the unique bouldering cave. It's an awesome gym and reasonably priced, especially for students. Will have to come back with a harness and try out the roped climbing. Also, huge thank you to the staff (Lee) for helping me jumpstart my car's dead battery!

DeVille Throws

Laid back atmosphere. Great routes!

Always a good time

Andrew Langford

Crux is the only place in town to both boulder and top rope, lead climb, and enjoy four different auto belays. All the bouldering routes have been reset recently. Additionally, there is a nice fitness area upstairs. Friendly staff and climbers. Highly recommended.

Nicholaus Morris

Unsafe environment. Poor climbers are not monitored and safe practices are not enforced. Overcrowded even on a Monday. Staff is friendly, but I don't need friends when I go climb. I need to know I and others around me are safe. This place is not safe!!!

Sydney and Averie Foster

Love climbing here. New ownership is working out fine as well (was a little worried initially) Lots of new set routes and solid workout area in the loft with cable machine, hang board, campus wall and some cardio machines. Staff are awesome too!

Simon Leach

Great smaller side gym, very relaxed and welcoming energy, and both climbing and workout area available. Rope and bouldering, auto belays, reasonable price, all good things!

Rachael Wright

The $8 boulder-only is a good value. The other climbers at the gym are also very welcoming.

Ashley LaVelle

This is a great place for kids to go to camp. During the school year they offer classes for older kids. My son really enjoyed class and the staff were very patient and professional.

Kevin Pori

Great climbing gym under new ownership! Much better routes and another new autobelay!

Harley Hill

Crux is by far the best climbing gym I have ever been to… Some highlights: -Super friendly extremely knowledgable staff. -Epic walls with tons of overhang, plenty of places to practice bouldering, belaying, and lead climbing. -Affordable daily/monthly rates with reasonable gear rental options. -Climbing, lead climbing, and belaying lessons. -Designated climbing routes with a fun points system so you can mark your progress. -Four "Perfect Descent” brand auto belays for safe solo climbing. -Gorgeous lounge area with free wifi. -Luxury locker rooms with the best hot showers in Eugene. -Full on work out gym with weights, treadmill, heavy bag and tons of other stuff. -Free yoga classes for members. -Rad music playing all of the time. Besides all of that Crux also hosts a weekly women’s night, a weekly student's night, and is super kid friendly all of the time. My son and I both recommend climbing at Crux Rock Climbing Gym unreservedly. Try it. You will like it.

The best! Super friendly staff and amazing gym

Dave Chase

Great small gym. Some lead climbing, plenty of top-roping, fun bouldering

Michele Berionne

I was there in the morning and the place was almost empty. The staff was helpful and friendly. It has a few nice climbs, even if not very high. Overall we had fun. Reasonable price.

You can rent gear or bring your own. Top rope climbs from 5.6 to about 5.11, lead climbs from 5.7-8 to about 5.12, and bouldering starting at Vb going to maybe V8. The routes are switched out pretty regularly. There is belay training if you want it, and a kids program for Fridays during the school year. Good environment too.

Noah Kerr

Crux provides a welcoming and professional environment for a broad range of skill levels and interests. This includes young beginners, as well as the curious novices among us. Key among Crux’s qualities are a knowledgeable and engaging staff, well maintained equipment, and guest pass benefits for members!

Kurt Rudolph

Nice gym, lots of variety. Really place to hang out for the day. Only complaint is some of the bouldering problems rating aren’t very consistent, a v1 was hard to distinguish from v4.

JoshuaP Clark

Wonderful place to spend an afternoon!

M Fisher

Awesome place with bouldering, lead and top rope. The routes are always changing and the staff is great. They're also getting autobelays soon which makes this place that much sweeter.

Jacob McCormick

Very friendly. Has a small weight room with basic free weights, no squat rack. Super laid back, with a wide variety of routes for all skill levels. Very well priced, as well. There's also a shower. A great place to touch up on your climbing skills and get a workout.

Tyler Wilson

This gym is awesome, lots of routes for beginners and experts!

Paige Mckinzie

My favorite place to climb in Eugene! Ladies night on Monday is great for new climbers and was my gateway to getting a membership here. The staff is amazing as well. Thanks!!

Kim Lindberg

I am a wheelchair user and a 1 legged climber. Crux gym, the owner, and the staff were all absolutley amazing and went above and beyond. Not once was I made to feel disabled or different and that is huge in the world of adaptive sports. They offered to move mats, make pathways, and let me tour before I payed for a day pass. They even offered to teach me to belay which is something no other gym has done yet. The gym was clean and the shower was great. Had super hot water, great water pressure, one of those big circle shower heads, and even had top of the line shampoo and conditioner (not the typical gym soap) I was just planning on passing through town. I think I'll stay awhile.

The walls are dirty, and it's kind of expensive

Ben Thornton

Nice little gym. Professional but laid back atmosphere. People are open and friendly here. Price was reasonable compared to other climbing gyms.

Gabriella Maldari

What an amazing climbing gym! The staff is knowledgable and friendly and the gym is very clean. Climbing routes are pleasantly challenging. Overall, 5 stars.

Michelle

Lowest price in town for climbing. I'd like to see more staff in this gym.

jake

Fun place to hang around. Pun intended.

Tom Delaney

My son loves the kids climbing programs. Good stuff.

Beth Borden Cho

Bouldered only, on my visit. Routes are color coordinated and rated at the base of the climb. I enjoyed the climbing, and the staff was friendly. They have special pricing if you are just bouldering for the day.

Benjamin Cram

The Crux is a fun local gym - they have recently upped their game as far as route setting, and have also added some auto belays that are great for a quick climb when you're there solo. Everybody is super nice too!

B Lewis

I took our family of 7 to Crux for our son's birthday and had a phenomenal experience! We are all very new to climbing and were a bit unsure of how it would go, especially with our younger kids. Needless to say, all of our concerns were put to rest. Immediately we were warmly greeted by Aubrey who helped us throughout our entire time (which ended up being over 3hrs at the gym!). He was incredibly helpful, knowledgable and most importantly patient with all of us. As a large family, big outings can be stressful and Aubrey made us feel totally comfortable and welcomed there the whole time. What a wonderful experience! Way to go Aubrey!! We will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Avraham Siegel

Everyone here is super nice and helpful. Great place to work on your skills. The yoga/ gym area is great to have as well.

Dane Steeves

I love crux! Multiple auto belays and lots of routes. Plenty of stuff for beginners and a lot of harder stuff too. Love the bouldering options. Staff is knowledgeable and eager to help/answer questions. Great gym!

David Clark

Great place to climb with your friends!!!

Joe Kleiber

The staff is super nice and laid back. We felt a little crowded on the top rope routes so the guy working just checked us out and we were leaf climbing on the big variety of routes painlessly.

Alden Taylor

Not cool, needed much better routes and terrain. Safety was absurd. check out elevation across the street instead
