Went here on a vacation. Streamlined entrance process. Clean. Good quality on the routes. Solid training area. Free weights and a gym. Yoga classes and inclusive nights (BIPOC & LGBTQ+) and the best climbing gear store I’ve seen in a gym.

This is maybe the third rock climbing gym I’ve been a member at, and my favorite thus far. The staff are incredibly kind and accommodating. The routes are fun and challenging, and the folks I’ve met thus far have been so friendly. There’s a lot of variety from bouldering to top roping and auto belays. I dig their shop and member discounts. I haven’t tried their North location yet but look forward to giving it a shot. Hope to come here often :)

Expensive but worth it? Thanks to an awesome community there's LGBTQ+ nights, ladies nights, BIPOC nights, etc. Which is nice and allows for perhaps people who otherwise wouldn't have the means or who would feel safe enough to begin climbing to try it out. Now that there's a new facility as well, the price is not terrible. There's a lot of variety from weight room, training racks, hang boards, campus boards to top rope, lead climbing, and bouldering. Staff and route setters are awesome and bouldering routes are fun. There are also yoga and training classes weekly. Fun especially if you get bored easily with other types of exercise. Very convenient too if you like climbing but don't have a lot of time to go outdoors every time

I've never been to any rock wall so to me this was an amazing experience. The staff were very friendly the training course was very easy to understand provided by the staff and didn't have to pay anything since I was accompanied by my brother who already has a membership and allows for a one time free entry for up to two people. My wife and I had a blast climbing the rock wall they have many different types of walls and difficulties set up. It was fun how the strap secures you as you let go from the top and just doing a trust fall. Scary at first but then you get the hang of it and all you want to do is reach the top to keep gliding down. This was awesome can't wait for them to open a spot close to where I live to become a member.

This gym is by far one of my favorites in all the gyms I have visited around the world. Routes here are very well set regardless of route setter. Everything flows smoothly and can be incredibly challenging. This gym features something for everyone, lead walls, large bouldering areas, auto belays and plenty of top ropes as well. Difficulty is very well spread out so there is something for every level of climber in every part of the gym. With COVID, the gym has great safety precautions. Staff is incredible, very knowledgeable, professional, personable and helpful in all aspects. Highly recommended for everyone and a must visit for people passing through!

Checked into my hotel early so I figured I’d do a little climbing. Different grading system than the circuit one my home gym uses. Some routes are confusing to figure out where they go if you’re not used to the gym. Overall, a great gym with huge walls & a solid bouldering area where I stayed my whole visit. Allison checked me in & was warm & friendly! Routes had lots of overhangs & a good variety for all skill levels. Everyone was safe & supportive. Only gripe I have is the lack of slab routes in the bouldering area, which are my niche.

What an awesome climbing gym.I decided to drop in on my road trip to California since the gym was only blocks away from the Airbnb we decided to stay at. I went in at around 5 p.m. and it was pretty crowded with a good amount of adults and kids. staff members are very nice gave me a little orientation before I was let loose to go Boulder. the gym recently just had a competition so they were a lot of competition style boulders which was so much fun. Facility is very nice and very clean, I really enjoyed visiting. Day pass was around $19 will definitely come back here if I'm ever in the area.

I would easily say this is the best climbing gym in the whole South Western region! High quality routes the owner is amazing and the staff is easy to work with and are highly knowledgeable. Their competitions are phenomenal and a great experience of what climbing is all about.

Great routes, facility is clean and modern. Down side is that there are too many little kids there for my taste . They really should have some days or times exclusive for adults. For 70 dollars a month they should cater to adults a bit more and get away from the chuckee cheese vibe. Climbing is great though when you can focus on a route without the kids taking over your space.
