Endless possibilities here, especially if you know how to belay. A bit limited for intro level kids in the auto-belay area - I'd love if there was one 5.4 or a couple of 5.5 routes like other gyms. Snacks for sale were kind of limited so I'd bring your own water and fuel for longer visits. Bonus points for giving each climber their own chalk bag which not many other places give. Parking in the area is a pain on most days but a little better at night.
Heater broke about month or so and still haven’t been fixed, the gym ventilation could use an improvement. And they are raising our member price. The staff are cool so is the community. Overall it's an good gym but could be better, we don't need new locker or shopping area, spend the money to improve air quality or heating first.
My friend brought me here to experience rock climbing, and I really like it here. The people here are very friendly, and there is also a fitness area on the second floor. I often come here for climbing
I had such a great time here! The instructors were very kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I took an intro class for rope climbing, and it was not only free but also a lot of fun. Definitely worth it—I’ll be coming back again, and next time I’ll bring a few friends along!
Auto belay, lots of top rope & lead, fantastic bouldering. Has a complete gym area and even has belayed slack lining. Bonus points from SSS-tier staff. I'd give this place a 6/5 if I could
