From the reviews
Great indoor rock climbing gym, a little small but the other chains located in massachusetts offer a much larger space and more challenging walls to climb. This location is great for friends and family to hangout at, there's also a brewery right next store!
Incredible! This place "rocks". So far this is the best rock gym I have been to in the North Shore/Eastern Mass region. I brought my 7 year old daughter and within minutes she was climbing an excellent variety of walls. There are several walls for kids to do with auto-belays and a huge bouldering section.
I've climbed at several gyms in Mass, NH, and Maine and this is my favorite one by far. The variety of bouldering options is unmatched. There were overhangs, a comp wall ,and even a crack line , which is rare for bouldering.
This place is amazing! I have always wanted to go rock climbing, but could never find a good place to try out. One day I decided to just roll with this one, which did not disappoint. It's very clean. The staff were nice and friendly and walked us through how to set up the auto buylaes(don't know how to spell that).
