From the reviews
Great local gym with an outdoor bouldering area and fire pit. A good collection of routes at my level (V4 and under). Was traveling and got here before opening. They let me in to chill on the couch/fill out the waiver while they got set up. Will definitely be back.
This was an amazing and very special place. We were traveling and stopped here for some much needed exercise. As experienced climbers we were greeted and treated as a community member. The staff were warm and welcoming gave a great orientation and even checked in withnus a few times. Thank you for your hospitality.
Very beginner friendly! Came here by myself to get into and try out rock climbing, the entire staff is very friendly and the courses are well taught and easy to understand so you can get started fast and easy. Renting out gear or getting a day pass to come whenever is very affordable too!
Great place to climb for casual and aspiring climbers of all ages. If you’ve been waiting to try climbing now’s the time! There’s a Kilter board, small workout room, auto belays and lessons available. Prices are great and there’s a great drink and snack selection.
Birthday parties at Climb On
Climb On hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
Adaptive climbing
Climb On is mentioned for adaptive climbing or paraclimbing — sessions, equipment, or coaching that make the walls climbable for people with disabilities. Offerings like this vary a lot gym to gym and schedules change, so call ahead to ask what's available and when the next session runs.
