The fitness folks at Touchstone Climbing aren't in the business of making "average gyms," and their latest endeavor is bringing LA climbers to new heights. Fresh from opening LA Boulders in the Arts District last year, the group's bringing massive climbing and fitness training gyms to Culver City and Hollywood this fall.

Located in a former party rentals warehouse at Fairfax and Adams, Culver City's 25,000-square-foot Cliffs of Id will feature 45-foot-high rope climbing walls—Touchstone's highest in LA—and over 10,000 square feet of bouldering (aka rope-less climbing). The space will also house a two-story yoga and fitness training studio, plus luxe amenities like saunas (!!!), fancy changing rooms, and more.

Landing across the street from Hollywood Forever Cemetery is the equally technicolor Hollywood Boulders, which will boast 11,000 square feet of bouldering terrain and 18-foot-high climbing walls. Once open, it'll be SoCal's largest indoor bouldering gym and will include yoga and fitness classes, a weight room, cardio equipment, and amenities.
