From the reviews

They are MILITARY FRIENDLY! Located On the left of 19th street before the light. Fenced in area with purple connex box. Myself, 2 friends and my 4 year old daughter went here. We were nervous at first especially after realizing there would be no harnesses. This is BOULDERING!

Top notch boulder problems in the great outdoors! Jordan (the owner) has a background in high-level competition, both as an athlete and coach, and obviously knew what he was doing in offering a full range of training options.

★★★★★ — Melissa, Apr 2022

Beautiful gym with awesome music, vibes, and a unique experience. We've been to so many climbing gyms and this one is unique, outdoors, and stunning. It's small but there's more than enough to work on for several hours and to keep coming back and the setting is fun and well done.
