What's inside

From the reviews
Small but fun climbing gym. The routes tend to be a bit more dynamic and the grading is a grade more difficult than places like Hangar 18. This place is very small, but the quality of the gym is high, and the atmosphere was great.
This is a great bouldering gym. There is no top rope here. But there are classes for yoga and good amount of weights and other gym equipment. This is a great place to really learn the techniques of climbing. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The overall vibe of this place is really peaceful and friendly.
May 2024: I've been to this climbing gym twice now. My first visit was about 6 or 7 months ago, but the location hasn't changed much, in a good way. The climbs here are really interesting. They do the tag system here but it's not as wide of a range as I've seen at other gyms.
Could not give a more glowing review. I have been going for almost 2 years. This was my first time climbing and I still remember that day, I remember the staff member I met first and we take bi weekly. I remember a member who I will always remember as an inspiration.
