Had the opportunity to climb here while visiting Atlanta for work. Overall, it’s a solid option to get some bouldering in. A few suggestions to the owner/manager: 1. The holds were quite dirty on almost every wall, you may need to reset the walls more often. 2. There’s a lot of empty/unused space on the walls. You can definitely set a few more routes per wall. 3. You should consider completely removing the campus board thing and maybe create a smaller campus board in a different area. With that space opened up you could put a lot more gym equipment to make it feel more like a full weight gym. The way it is now, if I was a full time member, I would have to get a separate membership to a fitness gym just to get a solid workout.

My wife and I have been climbing here weekly for years now. Truly exceptional rock gym, frequent setting, and clean amenities. They do tend to close giant sections of the wall for the climbing team often, which is a bit annoying, but that's heavily offset by having the extra gym upstairs, and weekly resets otherwise. We go in the mornings, and are greeted every day by Nick at the front desk. That man is a legend - seems to run the place himself; always smiling and attentive. Hard to find people like this -- give that man a raise!!

A great place to climb! The staff are friendly and the routes set are challenging, but so much fun.
