“) When you first walk in and see the height of the main lead wall 😵😱 I used to go to cliffs lic and they do have more routes BUT the setting here is a lot better.”
“Like the other review mentioned spacing out and adding more auto belays would be helpful when it gets crowded.”

From the reviews
This is an exciting climbing gym located in a low traffic area with plenty of parking. They have 60 foot rope climbing walls with lead, auto-belay, and top rope options available. There are 4 floors in total with a different bouldering section available on 3 of them.
If you like ropes definitely have to come here. Probably the best rope climbing in the tri-state area. (Also probably the tallest walls as well I believe?) When you first walk in and see the height of the main lead wall 😵😱 I used to go to cliffs lic and they do have more routes BUT the setting here is a lot better. 5.
Great climbing gym with three floors, a small area for easy climbers on the third floor with birthday areas for parties. Aileen is great, remembers everyone, and so are the staff, super friendly and really helpful. They have four autobelay stations so not a lot but you can hire staff to run along with you.
We have been so excited for this gym to open for what seems like forever, and we finally had our first official tour last week…let me tell you, it’s more impressive than we ever could have imagined! The facility is incredible, the staff is amazing. My kids can’t wait to start training there soon!
