From the reviews
Vertical Endeavors is an awesome place to climb with a great setup for all experience levels. They offer both belay and auto belay options, plus a free climb area upstairs that’s fun to explore. It’s nice that you can bring your own harness, and they offer punch cards if you plan to come often.
Great place!!! Staff are wonderful, and super kind!!! Equipment is kinda out of date but still works perfectly fine. You kinda need to know a little bit about climbing to have a great time here, but if you are a beginner the staff is always open for questions.
A small rock climbing gym but it has everything you need for a workout when you can't get outside. The bouldering here can kick your butt. For the first time climber there are plenty of options and even a lighthouse to climb
Trained and passionate staff. Put it on your bucket list. Bring the kids, you will be amazed at what they're capable of.
