What's inside
“Weight room, rotating climbing wall, moon board, ice climbing, multi pitch practice, rappelling, bouldering, hangboard.”
“Great place to climb, especially if you are into climbing other than just normal top rope and bouldering.”
“Very instruction-based gym where you can learn lead climbing, sport climbing with quick draws, multi-pitch climbing, ice climbing, and even highline.”
“They don't just clip into an auto belay here, they need to learn the proper knots and belaying technique and the /responsibility/ for someone else's safety.”

From the reviews
Great climbing gym! Lots of ways to train. Weight room, rotating climbing wall, moon board, ice climbing, multi pitch practice, rappelling, bouldering, hangboard. Don't forgot the 12 foot roof!
This is my favorite climbing gym! The staff are eager to teach new climbers about the belay clip n go’s. There are no auto belay systems but it is a great place to learn to belay and boulder. There is a Moon Board and other bouldering opportunities along with top rope and lead options.
We LOVE Turners. The crew here is absolutely delightful and always happy to chat or help. There's some top roping and building available, easy and challenging routes for each. There are no auto-belays so definitely bring a belay partner. The routes turn over every few weeks so the variety is pretty good.
A great little climbing gym. I highly recommend trying it out, especially if you want to work on your crimps. It may be small, but with that comes a little community where most regulars know each other.
