From the reviews
This is a sweet gym. I bouldered on a Tuesday morning, the setters were just finishing up a new set, and they invited me to try some of the problems and vote on the grades. That was a really great experience, and its certainly the most friendly climbing gym I've ever been to.
Cool new climbing gym. Went here with a friend who’s local and thought we’d check it out. The staff was nice and the prices were fair. The gym was really clean! The problems were well set, though they felt set by someone a bit shorter… they were challenging though. And a lot of fun.
I went here with my 3 kids for the first time, and we had a blast. I had a groupon, which was what got us through the door. I was really happy with the atmosphere. Some climbing gyms you walk in and immediately feel judged for even thinking about climbing. Haha, I didn't feel that here.
Loving this new climbing gym a lot 👌🥇. Great training area upstairs, good mix of boulder problems, fun rope climbing for all skill levels, and they even have the speed wall! Much more convenient than the downtown gyms for me personally.
