“As a solo climber passing through town, I appreciated the number of auto-belays available for use.”
“A cardio, then strength workout in the fitness room, followed by the showers capped off a great visit.”

From the reviews
The staff is amazing! The owner, Tony, is friendly. The staff is super helpful with first time and the seasoned climbers. The pricing is reasonable. There is something for everyone there for all skill levels, however, there is no crack climbing available if that's your passion. The cafe is cute and the food is good.
This place is amazing! Probably the best climbing gym experience I have ever had. From the moment I walked in I was impressed with the facility and warm welcome from the staff. The staff did a great job teaching us and made us feel safe and relaxed. And we had so much fun!
We drove past this place and went inside as the kids wanted to and were just chauffeurs anyway. Wasn't super busy on a Sunday but had a few families in there, the staff was awesome, the owner was very nice. There were a few ticky tack charges that weren't disclosed up front but they are usual in places like this.
This is such a fun and family friendly climbing gym. The owners and their daughter are awesome. They teach you everything you need to know about how to be safe while climbing, so experience is not required. They have auto belays so the kids can climb by themselves without the parents on belay.
