  Who needs Tinder when you can just go to Planet Granite? It's not a total meat market, but it is a great place to meet other like minded people. The front desk is great about finding you a belaying partner if you're climbing solo. The culture and community rock! Located on the water next to the Golden Gate bridge you get some pretty fantastic views of Alcatraz and the bay when climbing. Gym is in an old airplane hanger leftover from back when the SF airport was on the Marina Greens. On warm days they open up the hanger doors so you can smell the sea water and feel the breeze. The problems are creative and well organized. They usually match the stones to be the same color for a problem vs. other rock climbing gyms mixing up the color combos and notating with the same colored tape. Drop in rates are a little expensive (~$22 more with gear rentals) If you live in SF consider a monthly membership. The monthly member prices are about as cheap as it gets when it comes to gym memberships for this part of town.

  Awesome location, nice variety walls, good setting. Usually not as crowded as other city gyms.

  Great variety for top roping, lead climbing and birthday parties. Large area for weight lifting / conditioning / yoga. You can’t beat the sights here!

  Great place to climb. The beginners Rock climbing course is very informative and thorough with lots of practical hands on training. Our instructor Ruben was excellent: answering all our questions and explaining all the steps and instructions perfectly.

  The user experience is too bad in planet granite, compared to touchstone. The pad for signing waiver cannot work. It wasted about 30 minutes to sign it! The most important thing is they are totally not friendly! They only think about making money! You cannot teach others climbing and belaying here, while you can teach others in Touchstone. You cannot say they do this for safety because the belay test is simple and cannot cover all things. They only want to enforce new climbers paying for belay learning session! Touchstone is much better than them. You can teach others in the gym but the belay test is very hard. They require you to take tests more than one time to make sure you know all about belay. And require a lot of additional safety checks and actions. Moreover, different prices of passes and membership for different positions in PG! I want to remind you, please buy monthly membership in SF or Belmont instead of Sunnyvale! The membership is $120 higher per year in Sunnyvale than in other places! Also other passes! But the 10 visit pass only can be used in the gym you buy this pass! Overall, they only want to make money! Never care about customers! Please do not come to here!
