Plan your visit
- Gear rental nearly every climbing gym rents shoes (~$5–8 typical) and chalk; harness rental is often bundled with a ropes pass
- Waiver always required at climbing gyms — sign it online before you go to skip the front-desk line
- Belaying ropes gyms teach belaying or check your certification at the desk; bouldering and auto-belays need no partner and no belay test
- First timer? bouldering needs zero experience — rent shoes and walk in; staff will point you at the easiest problems
- Yoga & fitness mentioned alongside the climbing — ask about the class schedule and what a pass includes
- Memberships available — worth asking about if you'd climb more than a few times a month

What's inside
“This seems to be a really great bouldering gym, but from the top rope and lead climbing perspective it’s not super exciting.”
“It's come a long way in the years it's been open and now has a dedicated Kilter board, campus board, lifting and weight room, and even some top rope (with autobelays) and lead.”

“While it's not as opulent as the large mega gyms I love the atmosphere, great routesetting and friendly staff.”
“The bouldering problems can be challenging, but there are many easier top roping problems to try if you are a beginner.”

From the reviews
the grading here is harder than other climbing gyms, and for good reason. very detailed routes with a ton of variety. clean, awesome community and environment to be in for hours. i wish there was a crack to climb but the amount of volumes is more than any other gym ive been to.
Fantastic gym. Great people. Amazing setting. A real climbers gym and a wonderful community. Also, I stayed here back in 2025 when my humans house lost power (i.e., my water fountain stopped flowing). It was a nice stay, some nice people pet me, and I stayed warm when it was snowing outside.
First time at this gym. I’m a noob climber so I went with my brother. Yeah hey have a normal weightlifting gym, a decent rock wall and two other types of climbing walls that they have equipment for. I went when they opened so there was only 2 other people there(which was nice).
This is a very good climbing gym. It has quite a lot in it despite the small space. New routes are set on a weekly basis, and everything is kept clean. They use colored tape to set the bouldering problems. This takes some getting used to, but it really is an efficient way to use the space.
