From the reviews
Just visited the Twin Cuties Bouldering gym for the first time while volunteering for Octboulder fest today and yesterday. From all the rock climbing I’ve done I can for sure say this is the best gym I have ever been to. If you are looking to become a stronger climber this is the place to be.
This place is so much better than MBP. The setting, the lack of overcrowding, the design of the walls… all of it is top notch. Some aspects of the gym feel a little outdated, but overall this place is excellent. The staff is very friendly and the guy at the front desk this morning (maybe David?) was great.
This place is amazing! So open, yet packed with routes. I'm so excited about all of their other programs they've announced, too; yoga, fitness classes, climbing training, partnerships with local restaurants and breweries. It's such a complete package.
Large free parking lot. This is a challenging and unique bouldering gym. The workout area is very nice and has anything you need. There are multiple areas for hanging boarding and warming up and stretching. And they have yoga classes and other things included in the membership. I also have hot coffee if needed!
