Great community, facilities are absolutely spotless, multiple walls which are changed out multiple times a month, friendly staff, vibes are good. Only nitpick is that coffee is a bit expensive. 9.6/10

Very cool place. Lots of walls to climb with a variety of skill levels. Open format so room to spread out and not be on top of each other. Changing facilities are nice and kept clean. Friendly staff.

Best bouldering in Pittsburgh. Excellent routesetting with a wide range of movement and styles. Resets seem frequent enough that nothing was greasy. Grades felt precipitously harder from V6 to V7. Spacious with plenty of room for climbers to spread out, stay out of fall zones, etc. It rivals the gyms I'm used to in CA.

I love this climbing gym! The staff are always super friendly, the gym is very well set up and always clean. They’ve got a great space that has plenty of boulder problems to keep you busy until a new set goes up. The whole gym is turned over every 6 weeks to keep the routes fresh. They also have some standard gym equipment that you can use as part of your membership which is awesome!
