“As a shorter person there are some areas I can't overcome add a beginner.”

From the reviews

This place slaps—even harder if you miss a hold and swing back into the wall. Plenty of routes for all levels, from “I do yoga sometimes” to “I eat chalk for breakfast.

★★★★★ — Luca, Dec 2025

Some of the walls need more hand and foot holds. As a shorter person there are some areas I can't overcome add a beginner. Still challenging and fun.

★★★★☆ — Deena, Jun 2019

Great climbing gym! They've got such a good variety of climbing options from cave and short wall bouldering to a 55-foot pillar! The pillar offers many routes from beginner 5.8 climbs to natural routes, lead routes, and ratings as high as 5.13 typically.

★★★★★ — Logan, Oct 2022

This facility is pretty great and the staff is very helpful. Before I walked in, I didn't even know how to tie a knot and I walked out knowing how to tie a knot. That's a pretty drastic change.
