Love this gym and the community there. When I’m climbing, I want to be outdoors in the sun, and asylum has chill backyard vibes with great music. An urban jungle gym that’s truly a hidden gem in San Diego. I recommend a slice of humble pie before climbing here, real stiff setting, strong climbers live here. But even the lower grades teach great technique, and there’s never a shortage of projects. Music events are great here too, they find underground artists that are absolutely fire 🔥

They are MILITARY FRIENDLY! Located On the left of 19th street before the light. Fenced in area with purple connex box. Myself, 2 friends and my 4 year old daughter went here. We were nervous at first especially after realizing there would be no harnesses. This is BOULDERING! The place was clean, everything was nice and neat, the receptionist was nice, relaxed, and laid back. The vibes for this place was very chill. Me, my friends and daughter were free to walk around climb freely.

Beautiful gym with awesome music, vibes, and a unique experience. We've been to so many climbing gyms and this one is unique, outdoors, and stunning. It's small but there's more than enough to work on for several hours and to keep coming back and the setting is fun and well done. The owner and community is incredibly nice. We went on a Monday night, it wasn't busy, and street parking was easy. They had fun loud music. I'm so glad we came and we really recommend it!

Super cute hometown feeling bouldering gym with the essential training day options and no stress atmosphere. A fun time and good for any level.

This place is small and a little hard to find but the vibes are awesome and the owner is friendly. Setting is really good and a bit stiffer than you might find at the big box commercial gyms, which I liked a lot even if it’s a bit humbling! I went in the middle of the day on a weekday so I basically had the whole place to myself. Great place to chill and climb and the next door coffee shop was pretty awesome too. Would love to come back next time I’m in San Diego
