Brooklyn Boulders Gowanus at 575 Degraw Street, Brooklyn, New York.

Absolutely lovely bouldering place! Spent the afternoon there and everyone was friendly. The bouldering areas are decently sized, and even though the routes are relatively densely packed, I did not find the walls too clogged with holds.

One small criticism I would make compared to other bouldering places are the way routes are marked by hold color and tag color, with the V grade of the route being completely independent of the route’s color. This was slightly confusing as I am used to having all routes of the same color correspond to a single grade.

One of my greatest disappointment was that I could not meet the famous ‘cock of the north’ the previous review talks about. Maybe next time...
