Outstanding facility, great staff. Friendly service, and a fun climb. This was our first time here, we will be going back.
Great gym! A lot of routes - sport, lead and bouldering- and well graded. Great facility with nice workout equipment and a variety of fingerboard walls. Really good hours forn those who want to climb really or late. His value for money!
