What's inside
“Still the best bouldering gym in town!”
“Facility: 5/5 - They have all the training equipment you need (multiple campus rungs and hangboards, rack setup, bands, insane pull up rig, etc).”
What climbers say again and again
“The setting is more traditional/outdoors style that requires hard down-pulling, which is the exactly what I prefer.”
“Super nice gym with a variety of boulders even for a beginner like me.”
“Setting was fun and staff was friendly, gave me a nice little orientation when I came in.”
“Also, a plus for the community coffee there!”
“- Good prices - right off the L train - Workout space with treadmills, hangboards, etc.”
From the reviews
Overall - fun and serious gym for non-beginner climbers. Some people I know already signed up for membership. Daypass is just $18, which is cheaper than most gyms here. There are 5 wall sections in total, including 2 moonboards on a face.
I visited while in BK. Nice gym, nice people and staff, nice boulders. I disagree with the reviewer who said this is inaccessible for new climbers and that the grades are stiff. Great sweatshirts for sale. Bonus: frozen Snickers bars.
Review from an average climber (V4-5) visiting from Canada. Staff: 5/5 - Incredibly friendly staff. They were always happy to answer any questions and were conversational. Vibe: 5/5 - Just wow. Every other gym is crowded, noisy, and stressful. This gym was so quiet and calming!
Still the best bouldering gym in town! Really good place for everyone. Seriously, if you want to get into climbing, this is a great place; the staff and climbers are welcoming and love introducing people to climbing. Also, I've seen numerous Olympians here, getting a proper session in while traveling through.
