About

A climbing gym in an old post office

The Post is a Touchstone Climbing gym on North Fair Oaks Avenue in Pasadena. It opened in 2022 in a historic US Post Office building, once named after Jackie Robinson, who grew up in the neighbourhood. Touchstone raised the roof and dug out the floor to fit 40 ft walls, making The Post its second Southern California gym with roped climbing.

Climbing

  • Ropes: about 16,000 sq ft of top-rope and lead terrain, including slabs, steep overhangs, dihedrals, corners and cracks. There are no auto-belays, so climbers need a partner and must pass a belay test or take the Intro to Climbing class.
  • Bouldering: over 6,500 sq ft, with a 30-minute Intro to Bouldering class for newcomers.
  • Training: a 2019 MoonBoard, a mirrored Tension Board 1 and a 10 m speed wall for competition training.

Fitness, classes and community

The fitness floor has free weights, power racks, a cable machine, treadmills, a stepmill, rowers, a SkiErg and Pelotons, and there is a dry sauna with showers, lockers and free towel service. Membership includes yoga and fitness classes and use of every Touchstone gym in California. The gym also runs technique and lead clinics, private lessons, after-school and summer camps for 7 to 12-year-olds, youth club and competition teams, birthday parties and group events.

Regular affinity meetups include Queer Crush, Lady Crush Crew, The People's Climbing Crew, Escalemos, Black Summit Collective and the adaptive climbing group ParaCliffHangers. A 76-space car park is entered from Hammond Street, and the building is wheelchair accessible.

What climbers say about The Post Climbing

4.5 out of 5from 176 reviews on Google

“Bouldering section is really beginner friendly, lots of V1s and V2s, could use some more V3s imo… The crowds at the bouldering section especially around 4-6 can be bad.”

Google review,

“The space feels nice and cool inside, which makes a difference when you’re moving around. It looks fairly clean and there’s a good amount of people here without it feeling overcrowded.”

Google review,

“My favorite climbing gym. Never too crowded. Great mixture of routes and it does seem like they are always setting new routes.”
