The front door smell is a bit off… Friendly staff, cool place to boulder, tutoring available, many events, shower room free. Free chalk and climbing shoes free for the first two weeks. Free parking

$25 for a kid under 7 to come climb with an adult. Insane. You all have no investment in the future of this sport. Kids coming with their adult should be half price. No one is going to stay more than 90mins. Climbing has an ethos to it and a set of values that I don’t see here. With the rise of bouldering as a hip thing to do more places are just trying to cash in and sadly this is one of them.

Top tier setting, great community vibes, and awesome staff. I am amazed with how many routes they managed to fill in from it being a former Walgreens. Easily a 10/10 Definitely recommend if you are in the area - I only wished I still lived across the street.

I was a member for almost 2 years but had to end my membership as I moved to SoCal. I love the gym facility, the quality of holds, and the fun yet challenging routes. Desk staff are very personable, and involved with the gym community. Desk staff themselves climb and Management shows a true commitment to fostering love for the sport. They host tournaments throughout the year and top level climbers frequent this gym so a cherry on top for anyone looking to learn from other climbers at their gym.
