Asylum
Just behind us at 1835 Studios is Asylum. A small, laid back bouldering gym that offers day passes, monthly memberships, and gear rental. Asylum also frequently hosts climbing competitions, community events, sales, and climbing workshops. To give you an idea of how chill this place is, right after meeting them during our first event they invited us over to climb and play video games!

Parking Guide
We know parking at our venues can be limited so heres a few tips that will hopefully get you out of the car, and into the market much faster!
★ Look for street parking and check the posted signage, sometimes timed parking does not apply to weekends.
★ Carpool! Hitch a ride with some friends, save the time you would be waiting for your friends to park and come all together.
★ Use a ride-share service like uber! Uber with some friends to save a couple bucks and get dropped off right where you want to be.
Parking in San Diego can get pretty crazy, and we appreciate you all for finding a way to get to us... see you soon! -`♡´-
