From the reviews
Awesome facility for all to enjoy. Every level of climber is catered for at Sportrock. Friendly staff and excellent membership rates. Try it you won't be disappointed.
This is truly an excellent place to climb. There are so many walls to choose from and there is a great range from beginner to expert. Great for bouldering and top roping and lead climbing. I would highly recommend this climbing venue.
One of the best climbing gyms in the country! It has bouldering, lead/top rope, and speed routes. Great setters, friendly staff, amazing coaches!
The staff are friendly, knowledged, and helpful. The facility recently expanded - so. Much. Climbing. And support for other workouts. The teams are fantastic. My kid says to me "these are my people" for good reason. We're not the only ones that drive here - even though other climbing opps are closer to home.
Kids classes & camps at The Sportrock Performance Institute
