From the reviews
Giant two floored bouldering and sport climbing gym. There are numerous bouldering problems ranging from beginner to more advanced. The gym is brand new and is putting in place a workout/warmup area as well. Nice lockers and bathrooms as well. There’s usually a taco truck parked out in front of the gym.
Wonderful day spent on a rainy Sunday-adults & kids all had a great time climbing. Staff were really friendly despite it being hectic and busy. Lots of bouldering & climb routes- really huge inside! Other climbers were all really nice- it’s a positive vibe.
Nice place, not enough car parking, definitely bike over! Taco truck and coffee shop on site. Workout equipment and weights, yoga and climbing classes. Love the sauna. The staff's really nice and have a great intro class for the newbies.
One of the coolest rock climbing gyms ever! It’s HUGE and has so many different routes to climb. Spent a couple hours here, it was a ton of fun.
