From the reviews

Fantastic place to climb and train. The route setters are amazing at what they do and there are always creative, challenging problems/routes on the wall. They also rotate the walls at a perfect pace to allow for projecting while also always feeling fresh. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and super friendly.

Friends introduced us to Ultimate and we have only been climbing for a little while. The routes are very challenging and we love to climb there with our friends. Very nice and helpful staff. They offer classes or lessons for all ages and they are very knowledgeable in their skill set.
