What's inside
“Highly recommend VR for a welcoming bouldering environment and community, even for newbies (or 40 year old moms looking for a new hobby, like me!”
“The Saturday morning kids team has been the perfect, FUN setting for my 8yo daughter, and we absolutely adore Justin.”
What climbers say again and again
“Clean facilities, convenient location, and all the equipment one would need for a well rounded and diverse climbing and training experience.”
“Some of the route setting here is extremely friendly to kids under the age of 5, taking into account their limited reach, while still being really challenging and interesting.”
“Visited VR for the first time on the evening of 01/03 and had an “above and beyond” experience, largely due to THE Justin.”
“Shout out and thank you to Shannon and Katie for hosting the café portion of the party and preparing the food area for our son and his group of friends.”

From the reviews
Enter gym through cafe, head to the stair, gym is on upper floor, bouldering only. Nice to have a TV, bathroom stall goes to ceiling and floor allowing more privacy, cute bag hangers, no shower. There is an air filter unit, good to keep away from strong shoe smell. Training board is cool.
I’m a huge fan of this gym. It’s 100% bouldering and it has very good routes with good ratings. There is a coffee shop right below it which is cool as well.
Have to deduct a star for the music volume - this is a gym, not a music venue. If you're looking for an opportunity to get into your own zen climbing zone this is NOT the place for you unless you dig exactly what they're playing. Admittedly solid tunes, but I really needed a low key climbing day to destress.
Love this gym good vibes and great setting. I don't understand the reviews complaining about the price when it's cheaper than most gyms in the area. Also they are setting new problems every week and each one has a lesson that will help build skills to get to the next grade.
