What's inside
“Great experience here, the top rope is awesome and so is the bouldering wall, would recommend this to anyone looking to start climbing.”
“The top rope routes were tightly packed on the walls but didn’t have a ton of traversing, so it felt like almost every space could be used simultaneously.”
“I haven't tried the lead climbing but good workout gears and bouldering facilities.”
“For a relatively small space, they have an incredible amount of routes, equipment, weights, machines, hangboard area, cycle room, yoga studio, and on and on.”

From the reviews
Went here just twice while in town and had a great experience. For a relatively small space, they have an incredible amount of routes, equipment, weights, machines, hangboard area, cycle room, yoga studio, and on and on. Staff was all super friendly and helpful.
Great if you enjoy top roping or lead. Slightly less great but still good if you want bouldering. There's also plenty of workout equipment, yoga classes and more. This place is a bargain if you're climbing and working out here often!
Awesome walls with great routes set. Uses a lot of underclings and high steps. Also has a great gym area for an overall workout experience. Sean (Shaun?) was super helpful and was able to make my experience renting a harness and equipment quick and painless.
