What's inside
“What an incredible treat to West Michigan and The bouldering community.”
“We were there for two hours, and that was enough time to rip through the first two circuits and project a few in the third, plus some time on the tension board.”

From the reviews
Took my kids for something to do on spring break. Both kids loved it (ages 7 and 9) and there was something to do for all levels. Staff is very kind and helpful and we will definitely be visiting again for some more fun!
My husband and I love climbing here! We have climbed at multiple gyms in West MI and in Utah over the past few years and the staff here is awesome!! We feel so included which we have missed at other gyms before. The climbs are set so fun and really challenge you physically and mentally.
Was just there yesterday and had an amazing time! super spacious area, so much to climb and had routes that varied in very unique ways, both skill level and the type of techniques they focused on that showed there was a lot of thought put into what went on the wall.
This place feels like a bouldering experience more than a gym. The space itself is vast, with climbing wrapping around two sides plus two central islands. The space is all black and gray with sparse, artistically-set boulders that beg to be photographed. It really is something to see.
