From the reviews
Fantastic space! What an awesome addition to the Madison climbing scene. Nice tall walls (40ft), big bouldering space, and a full size kilter board make this a great all around gym. Props to the management and staff for creating what was needed in the Madison area.
This place is exactly what the Madison climbing community needed! It's a smaller gym but the quality makes it so worth it. My favorite part is that the actual V level grade is posted in addition to a community ranking/feedback chart on each bouldering problem. Setting is often enough that I don't get too bored.
Okay this place is amazing. I was able to climb up to 9 months pregnant here because they accommodated me with a special pregnancy climbing harness. They went out of their way to special order it and make sure I had the equipment to continue safely climbing, and it meant the world to me to keep doing this physical and…
Very nice facility with fun climbs! Free and plentiful parking and welcoming staff. Definitely recommend checking it out! We were there on the first day they were open and I was impressed with how well they were set up and how smoothly check in went.
