What's inside
“I am decreasing 1 star for, what I believe, is a silly design choice in the gym: They have a concrete walkway between the mats that separate the bouldering and top rope walls.”

From the reviews
Been here a few times, had a blast every time. Took the belay class here too, great instructor, very thorough and clear. Many of the bouldering options were easy enough the kids could be successful, and some were a level higher where it challenged us as newbies but we were able to work on it and get close to figuring…
Great climbing gym. I believe, at the time of this writing, it is the newest gym in the CRG group. I am decreasing 1 star for, what I believe, is a silly design choice in the gym: They have a concrete walkway between the mats that separate the bouldering and top rope walls.
I loved this gym! I was on a work trip and my partner recommended we go for climbing one evening. Though i am new to this, but i had a great time learning colour scheme and tried free-hands first time ever. While leaving, i missed my Tissot watch in the changing room or somewhere.
This place is a great climb. Lots of options. Friendly staff. The waiver forms are atrocious. What a god damn nightmare. If I want to take my family I need to sign 3 different forms for each person. Then I need to go and verify my email address for each form.
