From the reviews

This place is great for a good, quick, climbing workout, and seems like a local treasure. The setting and variety are good. However, just be aware this “gym” is a bunch of climbing walls in a storage unit. No staff, no rental shoes, no safety classes, the mats are bundles of old foam.

Pretty cool place. Super casual - lot of routes and varieties. Grades were pretty solid, maybe a little tougher than the ones I’m used to in LA. Heads up- you have to get the key/pay at mammoth mountaineering supply which is 5 minutes away.

Awesome little gym in a modest converted self storage facility. Routes are tricky for the grading but that leaves lots of room to grow

★★★★★ — Hunter, Mar 2024

This is an interesting place to try some bouldering... If you have experience! If you have never climbed before or just started in a commercial gym I wouldn't suggest this place. The grading is brutal. Plus you can't rent any equipment here. You need to bring your own gear.
