I have been coming to this location for years and the customer service and facilities are always top notch!
First of all, I love most of the staff and am so happy this place exists. I'm giving three stars mostly because of cleanliness and the long intervals between route setting. The gym allows people to climb in their street shoes. I find this really gross. It's a policy I've never seen at climbing gyms. My thoughts were dismissed when I brought this up to a manager after I noticed five people climbing in street shoes that day. (If the gym is worried about accessibility why not decrease the shoe rental cost to $2 and require it for all people).
I enjoy climbing at this gym as it offers a multiple heights of walls and plenty of auto belays, top ropes, and lead climbing routes as well. They have a workout area with cardio equipment and free weights. And they have a squat rack as well. I enjoy the comradery and meeting the people that climb here. The parking lot is not huge and is in a busy/trendy part of town so getting a parking spot can be tough depending on when you visit. I will definitely climb here again.
Great natural wall and crack climbing. Grading is slightly more challenging than the typical gym but fun routes. Jessica was super helpful and friendly with our crew of siblings. Awesome employees like her are part of the reason we pick VE!
The Minneapolis vertical endeavors has taller walls than the Bloomington location, I think. It has two real cliff face like walls with vertical cracks to climb, I wouldn't be able to do it yet, but it looks pretty kool. The facility is pretty great.
