I went to a place in Berkeley, but I cannot remember the name and It had a gym membership too. Any good rock climbing spots, artificial or real? Rock Climbing in the Bay Area?

3.15.10 Update: I changed this to Bay Area, as they're probably not many places in the entire Bay Area, and so we have one list.

Berkeley Ironworks - which is Touchstone Climbing

800 Potter Street in Berkeley (510) 981-9900

I've never been but this could be where you are talking about. I've heard a lot of good reviews for this place. Especially because there is a variety of outdoorsy activities available there as well as reciprocal memberships around the Bay Area (like Mission Cliffs in SF).

List of other locations:

Mission Cliffs in San Francisco- The gym that started it all. Still world-class with routes over 5 stories high along with challenging bouldering, cardio machines, and weight equipment.

Berkeley Ironworks- The next step in the evolution of our climbing & fitness centers. This gym has it all.

Great Western Power Co. in Oakland- Opened in 2007 and located in downtown Oakland, G.W.P.C. offers some of the best climbing terrain in the Bay Area. An imposing 150 foot tall smokestack cuts through the wall and looms overhead, making it an unforgettable climbing experience.

Sacramento Pipeworks- Just minutes from downtown, you'll find superb climbing on mind-blowing walls, a wide array of weight and cardio equipment, many classes from which to choose, and much more.

Diablo Rock Gym- The most polished of all our gyms with beautiful new weight and cardio equipment, two program rooms hosting numerous classes, sparkling locker rooms, and excellent climbing.
