What's inside
“Not so great for bouldering due to small crowded area, lots of people sitting or laying down, and labeling could be improved.”
“The top rope walls are very close to each other and the bottom person needs to make sure they don’t bump into other bottom rope people.”
“The sauna is not an electric sauna I dont think it's really nice and also clean!”

From the reviews
We had a great experience so I had to share. Daddy/Daughter date night so I took my two young girls ( 7 and 10 ). None of us are very experienced. I've been to this gym but it's been a few years so I was rusty. The entire front desk staff was really helpful.
The gym is very clean and a very very fair price with many creative ways to waiver the entrance fee! Love a place that's for the people. Even Friday night when the parking lot and street is full everyone is waiting their turn and there was some open space and empty equipment!
I like it here. The climbs are fun and different but I have to be honest. I had a very odd and unfortunately unwelcoming experience with a teacher. They have pixie cut short hair and was just straight up not a fun or engaging teacher. I didn’t feel like I was supposed to be there.
I really like this climbing gym. It's fun to climb here. The routes are pretty clean since they are reset often, and they have a separate section for climbing slab which I really appreciate. That's my favorite type of bouldering! Prices are steep, but worth it for what you get.
