Rock climbing! MetroRock is located in a dark alley near old warehouses outside of the superplex of Costco and its other franchise minions. Once I entered in the building, I was in a world with like minded rock climbers that were here to stretch their mental and physical abilities. Its a game of strategy and can be as stimulating as playing any challenging crossword puzzle. The levels go from easy to severely challenging. I am yet to dangle at a 45 degree angle upside down. The staff are talented climbers who have been all over the world just to fill their itch of climbing. Warning, rock climbing is highly addictive. So if you plan to go once make sure you have enough money in the bank to support your habit. You will be back.

I am an avid indoor rock climber and thought Metrorock was a great place for a few reasons, but not the best for others. The pros included awesome lead climbing with very fun and interesting setting paired with large features such as a large arch with a fun ceiling as well as a large overhung cave. They have auto-belays which can be a perk depending on your goals. The bouldering here is so-so but the top roping is very fun, like the lead routes the top rope ones are set well. I dont think there is A/C so it gets really muggy in there, and seems a bit dingy maybe because of that. Overall its amazing for serious and moderate/advanced level lead climbing or some top-roping, but just average for everything else.

Hands down the best Rock gym in Boston. They have super friendly staff and great climbers/community. When you are considering buying shoes from their small store there is always a friendly staffer to help you decide what type of shoe to get and they will let you try them on a boulder or two do see how they feel! Additionally the route setting is fantastic. The natural rock surfacing and the many different shapes and natural features on their walls make for an awesome variety of climbs. Everything from nice learn to climb 5.5s and 5.6s all the way to one or two 5.12d, or even 5.13a sport routes. This gym has it all! :)

Ive been to MetroRock twice, and in both consecutive times, other climbers wouldnt mind their own business. Because of the tight quarters, you are literally climbing on top of someone else. As a result, you cant help but hear what other people have to say. Climbers at Metro Rock and instructors are arrogant and rude. They speak condescendingly on new climbers, rather than patiently to explain why certain techniques are used. Personally, I believe climbers at MetroRock need to relax. Its a GYM! There will be beginners, so cool down. If you want to climb in a serious environment, then climb outdoors.

Im a huge fan of MetroRock. Aside from their gorgeous rock walls and automatic belayers, they have an amazing ropes course. Im not afraid of heights, but this one really put the fear of god in me! Luckily, I had the MetroRock team as well as my team mates helping me and encouraging me along the way. The safety hooks (lobster claws) and helmets , as well as the safety brief helped keep us all safe and level headed. I will come back again and again for that course...I got an amazing workout, and had so much fun!

Ive been to a few better gyms (mostly in the baltimore/DC area), but MetoRock is solid. Both the bouldering area and the walls are well used, and the routes/problems are frequently rotated. The 1.5 hour safety class seems like a bit of a rip-off, but I suppose its good to know that the people coming out of it know how to belay. While they do have a few bikes and an elliptical upstairs, it would be nice if they had more dedicated training equipment.

Whether its bouldering, free climb, or top-rope, your climb will be a great workout -- the center also offers elliptical/rowing machines and recumbent bicycles for an extra cardio boost. Monday night is discounted for women. Bonus: Everyone is friendly here -- a great place to meet new friends.

Great climbing gym. Nice and big. Its not as "pretty" as Central Rock in Watertown, but the shape of the walls gives a lot more opportunities for stemming, arretes, and other fun moves. Walls are a good height (45 or so I think), the staff was decent, and I liked the route setting.

It is convenient, vast of air, good vented. There are a lot of parking space, friendly disposed stuff. Wide range of climbing tracks - from short bouldering exercises to long 6+ grade hindrances...

best setters in the city, great staff and community. Can pay for here and a conventional gym membership for less than Id pay at other, more expensive rock gyms in the area *cough cough*

I love MetroRock so much. I have been climbing here for over four years now and miss it when I cant make it. Go check it out if youre even passingly interested in climbing.

The facility is great, with a lot of options and they make sure that the routes are refreshed constantly! Worth checking it out just to try if youve never been!

What a great place to stay in shape.... especially in the winter! Somewhat easy to get to off of I-93 and just a great environment.

My favorite rock gym in the area. I love the music they play and the climbs are always fun challenges. Lots of variety.

Friendly staff, fun routesetting. (I do wish theyd change routes more frequently, but every gym has that problem.)

Fun place. Not too crowded. Sadly raised prices a bit, but still worth going to every so often.
