Use of showers, sauna, and snack area for post-workout relaxation and convenience in a clean, chill environment.
Staff and the gym itself is great, but it’s starting to get a corporate feel. Prices are hiking, weird policies are being implemented… ( no chalk for guests, can’t use more than one guest pass per month) I just hope that this gem doesn’t turn into a gentrified expensive inaccessible place that caters exclusively to rich white folks. Also there’s a bunch of kids and they kinda run under you when you climb.
Love this place super fun and for the most part the staff is friendly. There is this one woman you need to watch out for because she’s make up her own rules regarding prices and gear. Gear is included in the classes and this woman charged me for shoes and when I asked for chalk she said I had to buy it. I double check and its online listed gear is included-including chalk.
Great facility! All the routes are really well set and graded pretty good too. They got ~6 autobelays all back up with toprope and lead routes too. They also have a great gym upstairs with a good weight rack, hang boards etc. They also have showers and a sauna was really nice. Only complaint is they’re kind of annoying and want specific things when taking belay tests.
I came for my first time and the staff were so helpful. They explained the equipment, safety, and gave us a strategy to have a great first experience. I also appreciated the staff who were climbing throughout the facility who were ready to offer help and suggestions as we tackled our first routes. The area was labeled very well for level of difficulty and I didn’t have to wait for hardly any of the areas I wanted to try. I also appreciated the nearby brewery for a post workout beer.
Awesome gym! Awesome staff. Super friendly, helpful and informative. The place is so clean and chill. A lot of room to do your thing. This place is super kid friendly. Awesome stuff. Nice chill gym up top with a yoga area. They also have a snack area. This place was just awesome. Can't wait to go again.
