From the reviews

The only place to climb indoors in Oahu. Nice setting and great holds. It is a bit busy and definitely needs more parking. The owner has built more walls and has created a special area just for working out and building strength. Reminds me a lot of the rock gyms on the mainland - you climb and can get strong here.

★★★★★ — Merritt, Jan 2018

Great little bouldering gym. Only a few standard walls but the setting is good quality. They also have two kilter boards, a spraywall, a tension board, and a moonboard. Can get pretty cramped when it’s crowded. Two bathrooms, water bottle filling station, small merch store, and decent training area.

★★★★★ — Robert, Nov 2022

Good affordable place for people of all ages! Sign a waiver, rent some equipment and you're good to hit up the rocks! They have assisted cables for the beginners and free walls for the intermediate to skilled climbers. Good spacious place since its in a warehouse.

★★★★★ — Brenden, Nov 2018

This gym is a gem. Visited while on vacation. My son, who is a youth competitor on the mainland, had a lesson with Rex and had nothing but good things to say about Rex and the routes. Definitely will be back next time we are in town again. If you're local and have kids, check out the youth competition program.
