Good for beginners! Not so much for intermediate/advanced climbers. Setting once you get to V6 and up is pretty unimaginative and morpho. And definitely not as many climbs available. I would suggest forerunning your harder blocs with shorter people to ensure you're still being accessible while still pushing people to improve. Still always a fun time though! :)

Awesome gym! Route setting seems a bit more on the difficult side. Just wish they were open earlier (like at 6am) so I can get a quick gym session in before work. But I do understand it'll depend on how much traction that gets. People in the front are always kind! Love it :)

Great place to hang out with friends! The day pass was reasonably priced, and they provide shoes if you don’t have your own. Also really loved the music they played, no need for headphones!

First time trying out their game. Really close to where I live. A lot bigger and more problems than the other gyms I’ve been to. Their grading system is different, which I like, the problem could range from 3-4 or 4-5. Bright and cold. Will definitely come back

Blocs is the homiest bouldering gym. It's the best!! There's just something about it that makes it so comfortable and friendly. Their prices are also good compared to other gyms. Their changerooms are always clean. Their setting is always fun with dynamic!! As a beginner I can always find something to climb. Parking can be tricky if it's busy (usually Thursday and Sunday evenings). But you can just park in the back 👍
