★★★★★ — Vivian, May 2019

It's hard to spot but don't let the outside fool you. They have a reasonable variety of climbing options and they offer a belaying refresher if you want to do more walls than just the free climb or the auto belay. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming!

★★★★★ — Nat, Nov 2019

The climbing walls are small, but varied. The staff are helpful, and if you're a umaine student, it's free!
