“there’s no AC, the bouldering routes are graded really harshly and feel scarier than other gyms bc the walls are higher and the mats are less cushiony.”

From the reviews

Great new addition to the Hangar 18 gyms. Was another rock climbing gym in the past that they converted to their own. The padding is now much better and safer, the routes are pretty good and there are a lot of varieties for different levels. The overhang is also pretty fun!

★★★★☆ — Abe, Apr 2018

Relatively small gym, very friendly atmosphere. Gradings the routes are a bit harsh but they are generally fun to solve. Staff are very helpful.

★★★★★ — Mendota, Sep 2022

I’ve had a membership for almost a year now and I love it. is it the nicest rock climbing gym in the world? no. there’s no AC, the bouldering routes are graded really harshly and feel scarier than other gyms bc the walls are higher and the mats are less cushiony.
