GOAT Climbing has two locations in Shanghai, with GOAT 2.0 at TPY Center in Xujiahui offering one of the city’s most convenient climbing experiences, with direct metro access. The gym combines bouldering and rope climbing areas, with spacious interiors, clean facilities, training equipment, changing rooms, showers, and free rental gear including liquid chalk, shoes, and harnesses. Using its own G-grade system, the routes are generally beginner-friendly while still offering enough variety for intermediate climbers, with more technical movements compared to many newer gyms focused on dynamic climbing. The staff are patient and helpful, especially with first-time climbers. The main downside is the higher price point and crowds during peak hours, but overall GOAT is a comfortable, well-equipped gym suitable for both beginners and regular climbers.
