My worst experience in a climbing gym so far. First, the price: this is absurdly expensive for a single session, and it’s the main reason why I won’t come back. Here you don’t buy a simple entry, you pay for a “day pass.” As if anyone actually stays more than 2–3 hours in a climbing gym. If you sell a day pass for $34, then sell a 2-hour pass for $15. Also, no student discount, nice. Then there are no changing rooms, so if you don’t come already in sports clothes, you’ll have a great time changing in one of the two toilets, which were not clean. I wouldn’t leave anything on that floor. There are also no lockers available, so you have to leave all your belongings in a wooden box full of chalk. Super nice to retrieve your jacket completely white at the end of the session. I don’t know when the gym was vacuumed for the last time, but it was covered with chalk. Floors and benches could definitely be cleaned more often, in my opinion, compared to what I’ve seen in other gyms. And finally, the size of the gym. I don’t mind that some gyms are smaller than others, but when I was there it was crowded and you had to wait for every boulder. So you pay $34 for a tiny gym where you need to wait for every climb, with no option for cheaper happy-hour tickets during the week to avoid rush hours.
