Rating: ★★★★½ 

Notes: Well designed, with 5 meter high walls at all angles, good routesetting, good holds, and even a foot bath! This is a very well run bouldering gym, a great place to climb on fun problems and get strong!

A far out location makes this gym less ideal for dates and casual climbers but if you enjoy bouldering and have the time, STONE is definitely worth making the trek for.

Red Rock Bouldering Gym

Description:  A top-notch Bouldering Gym near Shilin Night Market.
Offers: Bouldering(3m)
Location: Basement of a carwash located at  承德路四段261號B1
Phone: (02) 2883 7591
Stone Bouldering Gym FB
Hours: Weekdays 4-10:30pm . Weekends 9am-9pm
Pricing: $250 per visit

Rating: ★★★★½ 

Notes: Taiwan’s first gym with monochrome setting, this fairly spacious underground bouldering gym is run by experienced climbers and it shows in the competent setting, variety of wall angles, and superior training facilities including multiple campus boards, fingerboards, and even a Moonboard.

The wide variety of high quality holds, the colorful walls, the air conditioning(crucial for taiwanese summers) and water cooler set this gym apart from the pack.

Because of a 3m height and stiff setting, STONE and Xinyi are better choices for beginners, but for those able to climb silvers(V2-V3), Red Rock is as good or better than STONE.

Price: Bouldering $50. Lead Climbing $200. With a special discount card (好爬卡) you get a 20% off for 10 entries.

Rating: ★★★★☆ 

Notes: We like this place, it’s one of the highest climbing walls in taipei and has one of the most wicked roof climbs we’ve ever seen! A recent change in management has brought competent climbing instructors, better maintained walls and holds, and even routesetting! There are routes here from 5.9 to 5.12 and more, from pure vertical to heinous long overhangs.

Also don’t forget to check out the indoor bouldering section. Though small, there are a good number of taped routes here to challenge all levels of climbers.

Though we wish there were more angles, Neihu gets a solid thumbs up from us.

Pricing: $200/day pass, Shoe rental $100

Rating: ★★★★☆ 

Notes: Civic is a spacious bouldering gym with a beginner, vertical section, as well as more overhanging terrain suitable for intermediate and advanced climbers to train on.

A recent improvement in routesetting makes Civic worth climbing at, especially for those who live on the East side of town.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ 

Notes: A small yet spacious gym located nearby Xizhi train station. Amenities including ice-cold AC in the summertime and showers. Multi-faceted arch/island style boulder that’s very fun to climb, despite mediocre routesetting and lack of hold variety.

This is a good gym for beginners, but intermediate and advanced climbers can still get kick out of climbing here if they’re able to make their own routes.

Location: 110 台北市信義區松勤街100號 7F
Phone:02-8786-1911
Hours: 2-5pm & 6-10pm everyday
Xinyi Facebook Xinyi ClimbIO
Price: $150/day – Pay at the first floor front desk before going up to the 7th Floor.

Rating: ★★★½☆ 

Notes: Xinyi is a convenient bouldering gym great for beginner to intermediate climbers.

High walls, challenging routes and  thick pads make it a good place to learn to climb better. In addition, the gym has quite a few angles and uses volumes generously to give depth to the terrain, making for some interesting routes.

One issue with the design of the gym is that since the entire gym is a climbing area, when the gym is crowded,  there’s no place you can really sit that is completely safe from falling climbers so keep an eye out.

Recently, the quality of the routes has been mixed, and there simply are not enough of them for a gym of this size. That and the lack of new routes makes it hard for us to give it a higher rating.

Nangang Sports Center Climbing Gym 南港運動中心攀岩場

Location: 115 臺北市南港區玉成街69號

Offers: Lead climbing, top roping, up to 9m

Price: $50! very cheap for top-roping/leading

-We highly recommend going with an experienced climber if you are not one yourself. As noted above there is no resident employee to check your safety.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Hsinchu Climbing Gyms

iClimb 風城攀岩館

Phone: (03)6588588
iClimb Facebook iClimb ClimbIO website Icon

Price: $200 a day, discounted Memberships/punch cards also available

Rating: ★★★★½ 

Notes: By far the best gym in Taiwan we’ve been to, iClimb has 16m high lead climbing walls that go into a roof. Besides the lead area there is a bouldering cave as well as a shorter, top rope only section(the routes there go about 9m high).

The climbing shop attached has a good selection of gear, and a really good selection of climbing books, including Long Dong trad climbs, Rock Climbing Taiwan, and even copies of the hard to find Guanziling guidebook.

There is a truly friendly atmosphere here from the staff as well as the climbers, and it’s a great place.

The one con? No AC. The gym is awesome enough that we can look past it, but just.. be warned, it gets hot in the summertime!
