Checking Out Sender One LAX Climbing Gym 🧗♀️✨
1️⃣ Basic Info: This massive gym covers about 2,700 square meters, with walls reaching up to 65 feet (around 20 meters)! It’s a full-complex space with climbing, bouldering, and even yoga and fitness areas. 🧘♀️💪 There are estimated to be HUNDREDS of top-rope and boulder routes—so many you won’t know where to start! 😍 2️⃣ Route Info: Top-rope routes range from 5.6 all the way up to 5.14, with a particularly solid selection between 5.11 and 5.12. 🧗 Boulder problems span from V0 to V8, with the sweet spot around V3 to V5. Bouldering areas are spread across both the first and second floors. The gym also has dedicated zones like a K-board training area, belay practice stations, and beginner-friendly routes (5.6–5.9). Whether you're new to climbing or a seasoned pro, there’s something here for you! 🎯👏 3️⃣ Gym Rules: All top-rope and lead climbs require belay certification. First-timers need to pass an onsite belay test to get certified before climbing. All top-rope stations are equipped with Grigri devices, and the test uses them too. Since the gym doesn’t offer paid belay services, make sure to bring a climbing partner! 🤝🔐 4️⃣ Climbing Experience: The wall height really spreads out the difficulty—the routes feel softer than their grades suggest! I onsighted a 5.12a that felt more like a 5.11c/d. 🙌 The center wall has a section with over 40 degrees of overhang—I led a 5.11b there and it was SO! MUCH! FUN! 😆💥 Verdict: If you love 5.11–5.12 routes, you could climb here forever and never get bored. It’s like a second home for climbers! And guess what? There are two other gyms of similar scale here in LA—climbers in this city are seriously spoiled! 🏼🇺🇸 Have you been to Sender One LAX? What’s your favorite route so far?
