Really big rock climbing gym. Good assortment of bouldering with many walls and difficult ratings. There’s something for everyone. Staff is very nice. Would definitely recommend coming !
My normal gym, GP81, is in the middle of relocating so I am touring the rest of NYC’s gyms. Overall, I quite liked this one. I visited in the day time during the week so it was not too busy. The problems are a bit hard for the grade but interesting and technically challenging.
