From the reviews
I joined Crux last summer without knowing any climbers..gosh it's been great! It's a smaller, affordable gym that has friendly, loyal members who care a lot about each other, climbing, and having fun. The staff made me feel welcome right away, and after a couple weeks I was on my way to climb outside with new friends.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crux Rock Climbing Gym is a hidden gem! The layout maximizes every inch of space, offering an impressive array of routes for bouldering, auto-belay, top rope, and lead climbing.
Nice climbing gym in downtown Eugene. It’s quite small when compared to other top roping gyms in Oregon. But it offers some interesting terrain to climb on. Their rates are also cheaper so I think that’s okay. They have both bouldering and top roping options.
New favorite spot in town. They have challenging climbing routes with multiple autobelay routes, bouldering, flexible memberships, and gear rental. The cafe and seating area is a great addition. My favorite part is the two friendly resident cats.
