What's inside
“Its bouldering only (no top rope) but is already 3x the size of the UNL climbing center, plus its MUCH more accessible (especially in terms of parking).”
“They also have a bunch of workout equipment and a big campus board, big fans to keep you cool, and clean bathrooms.”

From the reviews
SUPER excited Lincoln finally has a climbing gym outside of UNL's!! Im surprised it took someone this long to finally open one (ofc COVID didnt help), and I hope this place gets the hype it deserves so it can expand.
I absolutely love this climbing gym. The boulders are always great quality and updated every week. Great place to come alone and focus on bettering yourself as well as a fantastic place to hang out with friends (or even make new ones due to the amazing community) P.s.

Birthday parties at MW Climbing
MW Climbing 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.
