Indoor Rock Climbing at Sender One LAX

What an adventure at Sender One LAX! As a first-timer, I didn’t quite know what to expect, but let me tell you, it was an absolute blast. First off, the vibe is just right – welcoming, energy-buzzing, yet not too overwhelming. It’s the perfect spot for both beginners and seasoned climbers. My son, Xander, had been here once before, but this was my debut. And, despite being a bit of a climbing newbie, I felt right at home. We were in Sender City, the kids’ side of the place. The routes are diverse and well-set, offering a mix of challenges that kept us engaged (and yeah, a bit sweaty). Speaking of challenges, I’m bracing myself to feel those climbs tomorrow – hello, muscle soreness! But hey, that’s part of the fun, right? The highlight of our day, though, was meeting another family in the climbing community. Luna and her mom, Lauren, were not just fellow climbers; Luna, like Xander, also has Type 1. They were both there to celebrate their birthdays! We always love seeing a fellow T1D in the wild. First time we’ve met one with the same birthday as Xandy though. It’s moments like these that make places like Sender One more than just a climbing gym – it’s a spot where connections are made. If you’re thinking of trying out rock climbing, or if you’re a seasoned climber looking for a great community, this is the place to be. Who knows, you might just bump into some amazing people or find a new passion. We’ll definitely be back – with each visit, Xander and I are determined to climb a little bit higher!

Large climbing gym with boulder walls and lead climbing. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and bouldered. The bathrooms are spacious and there are showers. The gym has a fair amount of equipment. Parking is available around the building (one way street) but if it’s full, there’s plenty of street parking as well. There’s a good mix of beginner as well as harder routes, but I felt that even the V0s and V1s were a bit spicy. You need to sign a waiver online beforehand. There are Groupons available for climbing classes which include a gym pass.

Great place. Wether you are looking for fund day or a place for kids Birthday party this is a great place. Most kids have a lot of fun and enjoy their time. The staff are very friendly and attentive. They are very reasonably priced and have great packages. The only down side is the 2 time slide rule weather they are busy or not which does not make sense. When they are not busy, the staff is standing there doing nothing, it make sense to allow the kids to use the slide more 2 times. Just my opinion. I have climbed my self a few times and it is a lot of fun and is a workout. In my opinion this is the breakdown. Although because of the sliding rule they really deserve a 4 but I am giving them a 5 anyways. 5 For the venue 5 for Staff 2 for the Slide rule

Great gym. I took a lead test, which went by reasonably fast, but still cost me around 40 minutes all in all. It's free, however, and you don't have to schedule it or anything. Great for a visiting climber like me. The really high walls (requiring a 45m rope) will get you pumped. Nice route-setting and quite a lot of routes, most for toproping, but you can lead most of these as well. Quite extensive bouldering area as well. I'll be back here, even if I am just flying through LAX, as it is super close.

Disappointed. Called to ask some questions for bouldering. To make sure I received the correct information, I checked with the staff again. Unfortunately, I heard the staff member mutter “Give me a break” in the background. Was really uncomfortable to hear that. Attached is a video as evidence to make sure I have been here before.
