Shaker Rocks - Rock climbing gym in Shaker Heights - 3377 Warrensville Center Rd, USA

We climb here twice a week. The walls are great, the challenge ratings feel fair, the routes change frequently enough to keep it fresh but not too quickly that you can't finish a project. Staff is friendly and helpful, and the culture here is welcoming and inclusive.

I had the pleasure of visiting Shaker Rocks to volunteer for a youth event, and it was my first time at a climbing facility. I was truly impressed with the dedicated volunteers who organized the event. During my visit, I also had the chance to chat with a few regular climbers who couldn't speak highly enough of this place. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and now I can't wait to return and try climbing for myself. This spot has left a fantastic first impression on me!

Can't write enough positive things about this gym. We're lucky to have a place like this near Cleveland, and I hope they continue to be successful. From first timers through experts, they always make an effort to make sure everyone is enjoying their climbing experience. The front desk staff is always really enthusiastic and helpful, the walls and bouldering areas have a wide variety of paths for all levels, and they are always changing. I took my 4 year old nephew and my 7 and 10 year old kids there for a small birthday outing. There was something for each of them and they all had a blast. My wife and I often come here for an afternoon date. It's a fun and athletic experience and something that gets you out of your daily comfort zone. Even if you've never tried it, do yourself a favor and head out here. You'll be feeling at home in no time.

Best gym in Cleveland, challenging routes set regularly, and friendly knowledgeable staff. I love this gym.

Great stay-cation spot! I took my teenage son and daughter on a Friday in early afternoon. It was busier than I expected but not crowded, which was perfect to get in lots of climb time and be able to watch other climbers. We had only tried rock-climbing once before many years ago. That being the case, I wanted a guide to show us the basics. I highly recommend calling a few days before and scheduling an off-schedule Taste of Climbing class if possible. It was fantastic to have someone show us how to use the equipment and belay for us. Our instructor was very helpful and knowledgeable, helping us strategize and encouraging our progress. After an hour with the instructor, we stayed for another hour and climbed on our own. At that point, we were exhausted-but the good kind where you feel like you accomplished something!

Great place to climb however there always seems to be large groups of kids that do not follow the rules on the bouldering walls. It is un safe to have kids running under neath you or cutting you off in a climb. This is a reoccurring problem nearly every time we go.

Nice big climbing gym! I think there are at least 7 auto belays but more geared towards beginners (good for me). The staff were nice, professional, and just amazing! I’ll definitely go back if I’m ever in the area again.

We wished there were more autobelaying options. If you take many kids at once it is nice for them all to climb and only 3 were available on the day we were there. The staff were friendly and it is very clean.
