No complaints here! Paul runs an awesome gig, laid back environment that has all you could ask for in a rock climber gym. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, helping out and giving advice/tips. One wall roughly 30 ft tall. The routes are rated based on Yosemite scale and IMO actuate.

All of us are first timers but Instructor Luis facilitated very well. Had a great time while exercising. Wide range of climbing shoe sizes, stable new harness, safety ropes are all present. They keep on adding different obstacles and has a wide variety of slopes and inclines you can scale from.

Great centrally located facility. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff who are always challenging and motivating you to improve. Friendly and quickly growing climbing community to interact with. Physically and mentally challenging routes for beginners and experts. My kids love climbing.
