What's inside
“I typically boulder and find the routes to be a good mix of beginner (V0-V2), intermediate (V3-V6), and Ondra-territory (V7+), with the majority of routes being V6 and under.”
What climbers say again and again
“There is distancing, sanitizers, and masks are required, which everyone did!”

From the reviews
I’ve been a regular at Urban Krag for the past 4 years or so. I was apprehensive of even going at first because of some of the negative reviews. I’m glad to find out that the negative reviews were incorrect and/or simply written by “Karens” being keyboard warriors.
The reviews about the owner give the entire place unwarranted reviews in my opinion. I've been several times and haven't run into him and if I did, so what if he's a grumpy dude... The routes are changed out on a regular basis and offer a wide range of challenges. The facility is CLEAN. The staff you will encounter 99.
Great adaptive reuse. Climbing in an old church is a unique experience. My friend and I both thought the boulder problems were accurately graded and creative. Minor issues includes lack of auto-belay, extremely old and outdated bathrooms, and having a members-only night seems unnecessary as if we were unlucky to have…
Always have a great time here. They offer bouldering and rope but I've only ever done bouldering. They grade consistently with west climbing (such as Utah). I love Ohio, but their gyms grade extremely soft especially Columbus. UK grades more consistently with the community as a whole.
