Sports Center at Chelea Piers
23rd St & the Hudson River Pier 60
New York, NY, 10011The Sports Center is home to one of the Northeast’s largest and the world’s most challenging indoor climbing walls. The 46’ high by 100’ wide main wall and the adjacent 10’ high by 73’ wide bouldering wall offer over 10,000 square feet of sculpted, three-dimensional imprint climbing surface with numerous, and continually changing, climbing routes that will challenge novice and expert climbers alike. In addition, a radically-designed, over-hung competition roof provides climbers with the ultimate challenge.

Care to elaborate on this?
Care to elaborate on this? What makes one gym more "professional" than another? Do you mean it's the one with the highest profit margins, the most corporate sponsorships, or what?

Employees Must Wash Hands Before Returning To Work
just because it's the
just because it's the biggest doesn't make it the most professional or best. I actually dislike Chelsea - the majority of their routes there that I climbed were all pumpy strength climbs..... Maybe I missed the "technique" area but i certainly didn't find many climbs that were puzzle climbs instead of grunters.
I disagree, kind of...
I think Chelsea Climbing Wall is one of the most impressive in the city, however, that said—I also won't climb there: I've been numerous times and 'most' of the people that climb there are rude and not friendly to newcomers. I've climbed every indoor spot in this city over the past few years and the employees and patrons of Chelsea had a very bourgeois attitude and were just not welcoming. MPHC climbers are much nicer, as are the city gym and so on.
I say this with dismay, as I said earlier, Chelsea was an amazing place to climb, but I couldn't get past the rudeness.
