From the reviews
The best! The people are great and the routes are amazing. Everything is super high quality, from the holds to the mats and everything in between. If you’re near the area or can make the trip, it’s definitely worth checking out!
My high school aged son is a competitive climber in the Boston area and was desperate to go to this gym after hearing about it through the climbing community. We made the 1.5 hour trek this weekend, where we met one of the owners and left him to climb for over three hours with a friend while we explored the local area.
An amazing experience! The routes are varied and challenging, with plenty of options for all skill levels. The vibe is super welcoming, and there is already a great community. Clean, well-organized, and perfect for anyone from beginners to seasoned climbers.
Probably the most unique climbing experience I've had in the United States. With most other gyms either being in a warehouse or a contemporary building, it was cool to see most of the features of the 19th century bank left intact including the vaults and stained glass windows.
