From the reviews
It was our first time here but not our first at a climbing gym. They have a really cool bouldering area. For the first time climber or inexperienced it might be a little difficult as a lot of the walls do have pitch changes. They do have an auto belay as well ropes. Great place with good staff.
My children and I really enjoy climbing here. Truly the best rock gym I have found in all the many places I’ve lived! I unfortunately can not afford to go more than once a month for all three of us. I think more people could be able to join if it wasn’t as pricey as it is.
Had such a good time yesterday as it was my first time there that I bought a 10 visit punch pass. The staff was so awesome, shout out to the young lady that gave me my facility tour she was so pleasant and welcoming.
What a facility!! Staff is incredibly kind, the walls are dynamic, and have a lot of different routes to pick and choose from.
