What's inside
“Expansive bouldering area with good setting, large weight training space (fully equipped), Moonboard, Tension Board, hangboards, campus boards… there’s even a Treadwall.”
“This was my first time ever rock climbing and I didn't feel judged at all (even when I completely stumbled after landing while doing the auto belay orientation– super nice staff!”
“Joined in August because the fitness area was enticing, but ended up spending nearly all of my time climbing.”

From the reviews
Arguably one of my favorite climbing gyms in this area. The coffee shop is AMAZING, hands down the best coffee I've had since I moved from here from WA state. Tons of boulders that are reset every week to keep things fresh. I wish I lived closer so I could come here more often.
My first time going here. I got the day pass which includes the day entry, chalk, shoes (about $25) per person. I’m a beginner so there weren’t many places I could climb for 0-2 level. Overall, the place is nice and not that crowded even on weekend. There is a gym inside and ping pong table as well.
One of the best gyms I've been to. The facilities are 💯, the community is very welcoming and there is always something happening if not at the gym but also at the cafe. Photos are from the very first day the gym opened, we eventually became members because we just keep coming back
Great rock climbing gym! Came here for the first time and had an awesome experience. Staff were very friendly and gym was spacious and clean. Would recommend!
Birthday parties at Method Climbing Gym
Method Climbing Gym hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
