From the reviews
This is one of the biggest bouldering places I’ve ever been to. It can get busy at popular times, but there are still plenty of walls to climb! Would recommend
I went here for the first time today, because on the first Fridays they have free guest passes available to members. It was so much fun! This is my first time climbing, and I definitely would go back. They have both bouldering and rope, climbing available!
One of my favorite gyms of all time. as a beginner climber i managed to level up after a year of time at this gym. the community is top notch and a place to meet friends and other active people. genuinely such an amazing space with so many activities. the sauna is top notch and is worth the money alone.
Alex was amazing from the moment we walked in. He made us feel comfortable right away. I took my two oldest kids, ages nine and seven, and we got a day pass. Alex walked us around, explained how everything works, and spent time making sure we understood the system.
