What's inside
“Em walked us up to the second floor, explained everything to us after answering all our questions, and then we proceeded to boulder.”

From the reviews
SUCH A NICE GYM! I typically go to Movement gyms in Colorado but I stopped by here a couple of times on my trip to Chicago and I’ve got to say - it’s so nice! A very large 3-story facility with a good number of top rope and bouldering routes and challenges. They have lead climbing too but I didn’t try that out.
Another excellent climbing gym here in the city. I didn’t get lead certified so this review is just for bouldering. The bouldering routes are excellent, the long 45° roof area is such a fun challenge. I’m not the biggest fan of the color coded vague rating system.
Never bouldered before- still felt like home and had great interactions with people. They also gave a class for free to me and my friend. I love the vibes of the place, much different than a regular gym and staff is so nice. I also spent a long time on Ping Pong table 😂
I have been a member of this gym for around 2 years. It has been such a nice experience from the front desk, to the climbing, to the standard gym equipment. I am embarrassed to say I have never gone to a class, but I hear great things and I plan to try when my schedule allows.
