Sender One - Playa Vista — Attraction in Los Angeles

I broke my ankle here after taking an intro class.

I think my ankle break could have been preventable, if the instructor: Spent at least 5 minutes in the hour long class reviewing how to fall Stressed the importance of learning how to fall (might be a no brainer but) Assured students they should call for help if they’re having a hard time crawling down Had students practice falling. It was not intuitive for me as a beginner to be told to fall and tuck

I would never have asked someone to climb somewhere else so we can mess around on the pads. If the kids want to play games instead of climb then so be it, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of members who are paying to...

Really enjoy having a local climbing gym. Generally feel that the routes are interesting, varied, and rotated out frequently enough that we are kept interested week to week as members.

We have consistently wished that we could come in early (before 10am — not really that early) or stay late on the weekends. Instead, later hours are only offered on weekdays. Our previous gym was the opposite; they were open earlier and longer on the weekends. We really miss having this...
