Rating:  

Notes: Very well run bouldering gym near Long Shan temple. Good routes with great holds and tons of volumes, updated regularly. Air conditioning. Good wall design. Open all day. All around solid. One caveat – grading here is fairly stiff – not a great place for beginners, but for everyone else its an excellent gym.

Prices are steep, but going at late night or getting 套票 makes things much more reasonable.

A recent expansion has made T-Up much bigger than before. Total climbing area is now comparable to STONE, and there is even a mini playground for kids on the third floor.

Rating:  

Notes: Pogo is run by four of the top climbers/setters in Taiwan, and it shows. The quality of setting is very high, yet despite being run by very strong climbers, there is something for everyone here. Problems here require technique and finesse as much as power – this is a place that rewards good technique. Grading is consistent at each level, and similar to American gym grades

Walls are around 4m high – just tall enough to keep it interesting, yet not high enough to be dangerous. The facilities themselves are simple but fairly well designed(though we would prefer more space between the left and right walls).

Overall, the routes make this well worth visiting, especially for beginner to intermediate climbers(v0-v4).

Rating:  

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.

Notes: A spacious gym with bouldering, lead and toprope. There is AC as well, making it a good choice for the summer.

A change in management has resulted in less routes and inconsistent route quality and grading, so we have changed our rating for this gym. It is still very worth climbing at if you are into ropes, but routes are not as consistently high quality as Neihu or Wanhua.

Add Photo

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. Despite the decent facilities, the management of the gym leaves much to be desired. Routesetting is inconsistent, with the good sets mainly coming from setters visiting from other gyms or when there is a competition.

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.

Hours: 2 – 10 pm everyday

Price: $150/day – Pay at the first floor front desk before going up to the 7th Floor.

Rental: shoes $100, chalk bag $30

Rating:  

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.

Rating:  

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!

The first floor features two sizable climbing areas as well as a corner dedicated to a 8.5m toprope wall. The second floor features world-class training facilities, a kid’s area, and a whole other climbing wall.

The routes here are fairly well set, and feature fantastic holds. Combined with the liberal use of volumes and variety of wall angles, this gym is worth the trek(and the price!) whether you live in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, or even Taipei.
