From the reviews

I went twice so far, this Saturday and yesterday; really great gym! The person who, I assume is the owner is super friendly, gym had liquid chalk dispensers, which I thought was pretty cool, fun variety of climbing levels, very strong sense of community with the regulars and it had a fun vibe.

Such a great addition to Medina and The Common Ground! They offer classes and climbing routes for any skill level, wether you are new to boulder climbing or just getting started! Perfect place for a date night, ladies night out or just fun with the family!

★★★★★ — Alexis, Dec 2023

Awesome beginner friendly rock climbing gym. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Finding the entrance is a little confusing but just look for the signs to follow. Inside of the Medina common grounds. Had a great time overall for relatively cheap!
