From the reviews
This is THE climbing gym to be at in New Haven. Not only do they have the newest holds and the ultimate complexity to the walls but they even have racks for squatting, and lots of strength building machines. They even have a sauna, yoga and mobility classes.
Best climbing gym in the area hands down. Very nice, diverse hold sets. 2 premium training boards, campus boards, and every major hang board. Setting is great and sets rotate super frequently so there’s new stuff to climb every week.
Amazing new rock climbing gym in New Haven! Beautiful facility with gym, bouldering, sauna, locker rooms, etc. The staff is all friendly and helpful! All right next door to a brewery and co-working space makes for a super convenient place to go for a workout or some climbing.
The gym is very clean, never overly crowded, and has fun routes. One thing I truly appreciate is the amazing staff!! Nate and Layne literally helped me change a flat tire in their parking lot 😁
