Anyone know of a rock-climbing gym in or near Davis Square?

Not interested in one at the Boston Sports Club (not interested in paying $70/month). Any others?

Thank you. Good to know:)

Yep, MetroRock is the closest one to the area. If you can get on the orange line, they'll pick you up at Wellington

3rd for Metrorock.

Who knew so many D_S people climbed there? weird.

Well, there's not anything closer I've found either, so it's a matter of being the only decent option. And with a shuttle, why not? :)

I didn't realize there even WAS a shuttle until it parked on my street!

They have a rock climbing wall in there? cool. All my BSC had is a bunch of assholes in it.

Yeah quitting that fucking gym as soon as my contract is up.

Ditto MetroRock. Only just started going there, but so far, so good.

MIT has a bouldering wall that is free and open to the public. It's small (a converted squash court - the photo on the site is most of it), and the hours are erratic. But it's free!

Harvard has a wall, neither free nor open to the public so I've never been there. Same with BU.

The next closest place is Boston Rock up in Woburn.

BSC rates

BSC is $70/month now? My membership there is $50/month (with no fees) but I got in when they first opened. That's a heck of an increase in two years. I'm surprised the economy hasn't softened their rates.

I've been to Boston Rock Gym in Woburn before and they are great. Sadly, they are not T accessible though...

Many thanks for posting this:) Actually, a friend of mine pointed it out to me, but I only saw one deal; $40 for an introductory lesson and 1 month of unlimited use. What is the other deal you speak of?

It was posted as a side deal. It's for an outdoor class. Here is the link http://www.groupon.com/deals/boston-rock-gym-1.
