Canyons Rock Climbing

Joined recently. So far, I love it. Well designed with helpful staff. Great variety.

Excellent customer service! Chance was knowledgeable, friendly, and excellent. Check in, getting equipped and signed off to start climbing and belaying was really good. We like to climb, but don’t own our own equipment or get to climb as often as we like. The rock paths ranged from easy to crazy hard. Kept us entertained for several hours. Their policy of being able to use the day pass all day is great we took a lunch break and were able to return for several ore climbs. Everyone owning there was friendly. Recommend for all ages and skill levels.

What a great activity on rainy days. The staff is competent, friendly and it’s a definite workout. Fun for ages 6 and up. Try it out, you like it!

I’ve been here 10+ times and I think the place is well ran, they are constantly changing climbing routes and making improvements which is good. Staff is always very nice and reasonable to deal with much more than any other places.
I highly recommend trying them out!

Pretty cool place. I had a lot of fun! Staff was way too nonchalant to be working at a climbing gym. They did not monitor anyone nor did they check up around facility (and there was a huge party of kids when I went). But overall the staff were really nice, just not ideal choices for safety reasons. It also seems that they are really stingy about chalk as well. So if you buy all the fixings make sure to ASK for chalk or they won’t even give it to you. But you are paying for it! Soo get your money’s worth. I will probably go back!!! :)

The best! I always enjoy going price is not too bad is worth it is an all day pass.
Staff is super nice, just the last time I went apperently they ran out of chalk so I kind of paid to NOT GET CHALK I probably got two tea spoons. I honestly wanna believe the guy and say they did run but if you don’t have any TELL ME AND I WON’T BUY CHALK!

Really like this gym. They have very fun top rope routes as well as a nice bouldering section. I’m more of a boulderer so I find myself spending more time with the bouldering problems. Now I’ve been to many gyms in various cities, but I think the gyms in Texas (I’ve also been to other gyms in Dallas and Houston) seem to underrate their bouldering problems. Many v1s and v2s I feel should really be v3s or v4s. But they are still fun and challenging! I’ve been here twice this week already. Wish I lived here so I could get a membership and stop paying $ 20 a visit!

A few friends and I go climbing a few times a week. Mostly summit (the old Dallas Rocks and Exposure). We decided to drive north and check out the canyons rock climbing gym. My first impression was that it had just opened and was not completely ready for the general public, but I quickly realized that the feeling mostly came from the new bouldering wall that they were in the middle of building that had not quite opened up yet. My friends and I decided to put on our harnesses and top rope/​sport climb on the back end of the wall. Hands-​down the coolest sport route climbing wall compared to summit and a couple other planning gyms that I have checked out. The only thing I would dock points from The Canyons is the fact that there were so many kids running around we could barely even climb. I think one of them even tried to bite me. What’s that all about? While we were in the middle of sport climbing, there were tons of three and four year-​olds playing tug-​of-​war right below us. Not ideal, but fun nonetheless. I’m sure we will be back

The place itself is pretty cool – lots of different types of walls to climb! We bought groupons, and you can’t beat that price ($ 7 each including gear).
However, the staff was EXTREMELY rude! One of them got an attitude with my 53 year old mother because she was having a difficult time operating the rope pulley thing. The young staff there seems to think that they are too cool to help you with anything.
Also, a good bit of the climbing courses were unavailable because they were letting kids play on a giant swing in that area. It’s cool, but should you really be blocking people from climbing so that people can swing? I don’t know.

My boyfriend and I had our first climb there tonight and it was a BLAST! There is a great deal going on on Groupon so the cost was cheap. They gave us harnesses and shoes, taught us how to belay and how the wall was set up. We were up the wall in no time.
The environment was very relaxed. I never felt intimidated or pressured. An employee came by twice to see if we were doing well. All staff members we interacted with were so nice and helpful!
I would recommend this climbing gym to anyone and cannot wait to go back!

This was fun. We bought the $ 10 all day passes on Amazon local, signed the waiver online beforehand. We got there and the guy at the front desk checked us in quickly, no hassle. He then demonstrated how to climb the wall and allowed each of us to try making sure we knew how to work everything for our own safety etc.

This place has reasonable prices and a fun place to go with kids and adults. It is also a great workout.

So disappointed. I’m new to TX, looking for recreation/​exercise, and was glad to find this place on Groupon so I could finally give rock-​climbing a try.
Excitedly, I took the trek to this location, and the front desk employee told me I would not be able to use the Groupon because I’d come alone. Seriously?
Again, I’m new here and don’t know anyone for such a venture, AND there’s nothing on the purchase site that says a buddy system is required. How would a novice rock climber guess this? And now I’m out the $$$.
I have learned before I buy a Groupon, I better call the business first, or perhaps just call a psychic.

The doors have reopened with new ownership. I took my 12-​year old daughter last Saturday, and we had a great time. The staff was friendly, and even helped me belay since my daughter was not old enough to belay me (you have to be 13 years old). The climbing walls are great. There are difficulty levels for all climbers. We will definitely go back.

The location’s in the middle of nowhere (amidst an array of sunflower fields, to my friends’ delight). But being removed from Dallas added even more to the experience.
There are quite a few walls with different levels of difficulty. One even required you to do some upside down Spidey action! Also, the climbing crowd ranged from little kids to intense manly men.
The service was nice enough. An employee gave us our harnesses, gave a quick lesson on how to climb/​belay, then let us do whatever we wanted.
Moreover…they’ve got a lot of specials. Wednesday is $ 11 for family night. So bonus points for the price!
