Pros: big gym, nice top-roping, some parking available, and lots of bouldering
Cons: they got rid of most of the auto-belay stations to make room for additional bouldering, but most gyms in the Boston area offer bouldering and this gym already had two floors of bouldering space - please bring back more auto-belays ??

Could not practice climbing more than 3 times in one hour because too many kids. Kids climbing on the same wall, no harness, fighting each other. Not safe and not a good experience for adult beginners. Central Rock Gym is a better learning adult experience.

I came to the Bouldering Project completely new to indoor climbing. As it was my first time here, I had expected to get a brief safety orientation or a rundown of the basics of bouldering. Instead, I was lent a pair of climbing shoes and told I was all set to start bouldering.
I spent around an hour there; near the end, I had reached the top of one of the beginner routes and started to make my way down. Once I was halfway down, I made the decision to jump down because it was difficult to hold on to the hand hold any longer. I ended up hitting my head, nose, and lip on the climbing wall before landing on the crash pad. Now, I have a scraped lip and mild concussion.
I am hoping that the Bouldering Project will implement a training session on the basics of bouldering and tips on how to fall safely to prevent injuries from occurring.

As a first timer, I expected a safety lesson when I arrived at the gym or even a quick explanation on how to fall correctly/basics on bouldering. I shrugged it off and went along with my friend. Fast forward an hour later, I jumped down from a route with an extremely small top hold because I couldn't hold on any longer and landed badly on my left knee. It buckled and popped and I knew it was game over. They called the paramedics and took great care of me until I was able to get up. I ended up tearing my acl and meniscus.
I'm writing this in the hopes that safety protocol becomes more standard at this gym. This could look like a mini lesson, a video to watch, a pamphlet... anything.

The energy and community feel of the bouldering project is vibrant and safe. I am not a climber but a mom of a 6 year old who learned to love climbing. I get into a happy and supported frame of mind every time I walk into this space. My kid feels nurtured, supported, and safe with excellent teachers. Growns ups encourage kidsto climb with them!!!!

I want to recommend their day camp and birthday party. My daughter participated their day camp and enjoyed it so much so we decided to have her birthday there. All the instructors are professional and friendly. They remembered all the kids’ names and guided them to experience the fun of climbing/bouldering safely.

The gym has gone downhill since the change in ownership (used to be Brooklyn Boulders, now Bouldering Project). The coloring system for rating bouldering problems is unpredictable and makes it hard to choose problems. The top roping has always been the real strength of the gym but they have reduced the amount of top roping space and replaced it with more generic bouldering space that is not particularly great, certainly no better than what you find in an average bouldering gym. And the place used to have this amazing vibe which has been replaced by a more anodyne feeling. I still go there but less often and less enthusiastically than before.

They can’t afford paper towels for sanitation reason anymore even after they raised $20 monthly. Dusty everywhere. Cheap and gross

135$/month and no paper towels is kind of ridiculous.

Been coming here for about a year and absolutely love it. Started my climbing journey at BBP and the people / staff are very welcoming. They change things up regularly, so there’s always something new to try out. Decent amenities (bring back the two towel allowance for the sauna!). Only gripe is the amount of children running around during peak hours. Can sometimes feel like an indoor playground.

Great climbing gym with friendly staff. Grades are by color and not on the V scale so they give you a bit more of a feeling of liberty to try different colors. Staff helped with selection of shoes giving us lots of sizes and options. I only bouldered but the climbing walls also looked pretty cool. The fitness area upstairs was suitable, took care of what I needed for lifting. Lots of places to sit and do work as well if that’s your thing (It was my thing today). Overall would recommend.
