From the reviews

Really cool location. It can be crowded, I was here at 7pm on a weeknight which is usually peak time for gyms. Good density of setting, and they've fit a lot of climbing footage into a small building footprint. I would say there's a lack of overhang and a surplus of slab/vert but that's personal preference.

★★★★☆ — Jay, May 2025

Wow, love how they’ve transformed this building into a climbing gym! Fun boulder problems, clean facilities, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Small workout area. But the crown jewel is probably the sauna in the original vault - what a cool idea!

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Jan 2026

Went to the bouldering project 10 years ago, and they still had my day passes saved and converted to store credit when they switched systems between then and 2025. Absolutely upstanding. Also— enjoyed the gym.

★★★★★ — Ray, Sep 2025

Really nice and new gym in a super accessible location! The lockers are on the bottom floor, along with private showers and bathroom stalls. there’s no traditional open locker room. There’s also a changing stall behind a separate door. Lockers are free to use and have built in locks ready to use.
