What's inside
“10/10 would recommend—just bring snacks, water, and maybe a tiny victory banner for when your kid conquers the boulder named “The Meatball.”
“It has three auto belays with a lot of routes set up, one of which is on a decent negative incline wall.”

From the reviews
Extremely clean and welcoming environment. The staff were very helpful at explaining how everything works. This is the first time my family and I tried climbing and it was a very positive experience for us all! Highly recommend!
A pretty nice local gym. It has three auto belays with a lot of routes set up, one of which is on a decent negative incline wall. A couple of really fun traversal boulders. This is not the most beginner friendly gym.
New to climbing and heard good things about this gym. Was a little intimidated, but the staff took time to explain some basics and made me feel comfortable. Large, clean gym with lots of variation for noobs like me, as well as some more seasoned people that were also climbing during my time there. Will be returning!
I'm in love with this place! Great bouldering and top rope problems... Very technical and well thought out routes. Most gyms are just taller walls and smaller holds... Not this place! Staff is very helpful, atmosphere is extremely welcoming. Cannot recommend enough! A+++
