From the reviews
This was such a great experience for both the kids and adults. They have rentals for the climbing gear and they have day passes.
Had a great time here. We did an hour of staff belay which was plenty. By the time our hour was up, my forearms were burnt out. I'd definitely want to come back and try the bouldering on its own. Staff is pleasant & helpful. Facilities are clean and organized. The routes were a good workout.
Some of the photos on here must be old, they aren’t setting with tape anymore. Great gym with really interesting features on cement walls, including a crack, a chimney, and a full arch (all leadable!). The autobelays aren’t just for beginners, they set 5.8-5.12.
I love this gym! Quality routes, clean facility, lots of gear and clothing for sale too. Easy carabiner clip in, creative route setting and quality holds, top out opportunities for bouldering.
