good jawn forsure. clean spot staff cool shorty passed out cookies one day. they helpful and not stingy with the chalk. they let you do you fr but will answer a question quickly. im a keep going back fs!
Super friendly staff. Climbs and movement were fun and challenging. Setting/grading felt old school/outdoorsy leaning a bit sand-bagged, but kinda anticipated that. Given the limited space they do a great job of saturating the walls. Gotta take a star off for the dank weight area. Half the stuff was tattered and needs to be updated.
The best kept secret in Philadelphia is the Fishtown branch of PRG. I started climbing here almost 2 years ago and it has completely changed my life. I have learned a new skill, been surrounded by the kindest souls, and made the most incredible friends. This isn't a gym, it's a community. A safe space without ego and malice, such a rare gift these days. And what is more - the staff is unwaveringly kind, supportive, highly skilled, and all around wonderful. There is no question too small to ask. They are highly educated in the art of climbing and are always willing to share what they know. I feel as if I've won the lottery being a member here. I know so many other members feel the same way. 🖤
What a great place! We trained with the assistant manager and they were great! Made it fun, added humor around every climb and very detailed in instructions. We spent about 2 hours here. Learned to trust our partners a little more too haha (trust falls are not easy) Would definitely be back. Great date night with friends!
Fun gym! The route setting was right up my alley here. Not a super big place but had plenty of bouldering and a little bit of top rope/lead climbing. They do make sure your have the basics of falling for bouldering if you haven't been there before. Not a big deal, and the staff is super friendly. Movable crash pads and taped routes, if either of those matter to you. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.
