From the reviews
I went here for my first time ever climbing and it was a really good experience. The staff and all the members are super nice. The gym is also very well maintained and they are constantly changing the walls. Definitely recommend!
This is a great rock climbing gym. Everyone is very friendly there. One of the workers (Julia) patiently helped me to pick out the shoes that I would need when I decided to purchase my own instead of renting. She gave me great advice when it came to the best type of shoe for beginners, chalk, and bag to buy.
I'm editing my review. I'm an old school trad climber and my son has been climbing since he could walk. Our attic is covered floor to ceiling in bouldering problems and he regularly sets them himself (with some help).
Wahhhh GV I'm so jealous I didn't start a gym sooner. This GV is sooo nice, a bouldering only gym with tons of fun climbs. The setting is particularly really good here and can tell they really put some amazing stuff together. It's open to the public in Aug for their grand opening.
