From the reviews
Nice local gym. The space is pretty small. The staff is always nice and helpful. The setting could use a bit of help. It doesn't seem like the setter forerun the boulders which tends to make some of the moves very awkward and confusing.
To Christian M — if an employee had to tell you THREE times not to enter a coned zone (let’s be real, if it was confusing, you can use your words and ask if it’s appropriate to climb a route next to said cones). You said they were testing the routes… sounds like that was pretty clear to you what was going on.
Small but great atmosphere. Staff is cool and the climbers are knowledgeable. You top out every route so it's a nice challenge. Next to 2 breweries.
Great gym with a good atmosphere and a super helpful staff. Each week, a section is updated with new problems of various difficulties. The place is refreshed regularly and whoever makes the problem knows what (s)he's doing. I often go with my daughter (she's 6) and there are many problems for her level as well.
