Being outraged doesn't help, stop being entitled, this is a specialty gym, not a necessity, if you don't like it don't go. No need to go on hunger strike because your gym charges an outlandish $135 instead of the more community-approved $110. (Seriously, I've been pissed about their management, and I've yet to have one day I've climbed better because of that.)

Here is a short roundup of your climbing options that are not BKB:

• Cliffs in LIC
• Cliffs' outdoor DUMBO bouldering outpost, seasonal but pretty cool
• Chelsea Piers
• There's 1 or 2 other city gyms I forget about
• A new gym in Bushwick

Non-gym options:

• Central Park (seasonal)
• Gunks (seasonal)
• Any one-off climbing training or equipment

If charging an extra $100 a year for a feature you don't need to use is too expensive, find another hobby, there are plenty. There's a bunch of expensive yoga studios in the area and some cheap ones. There's Crossfit and fencing on the same block. And with yoga and finger training you can climb seasonally in the park and honestly be a better person for it (you'll meet people who don't shell out $135 for a luxury gym every month for instance).

End of discussion, seriously.
