Clean and good vibe. The gym uses its own grading system. But it works well.There some very interesting routes and the route setters keep them fresh.The setters are partial to crimpy routes. I wish there are more balance and dyno routes.

Very welcoming staff and environment. My Little Sister and I went to climb for the first time and Carl went out of his way to help us and encourage my Little to overcome her fears. Fun and positive vibe from the members. We will be going back.

Awesome place with a cool staff. They have bouldering and also a small weight room. Generous pricing and everyone that trains there is pretty friendly. Definitely recommend this place if you plan on getting into climbing. They also offer learning courses.

Great gym, enjoyed my visit. The front desk guy, Nick, was super friendly and helpful. The routesetting is generally mediocre, but good for the region. Apparently they set several times a week, which is great. The quality of the holds is good, they even use some wooden holds which is interesting for a change. The crowd was friendly, but by 9pm I was the only one there. There is only bouldering here, however there is a wall with ropes, but the max height is just a little more than the bouldering wall. Probably good for beginners and kids. They do set relatively hard here, with a dot system which corresponds to a grade range. The bathrooms were spotless and the showers were very clean. Overall I had a great experience.

It was such a fun and educational experience. This was my first exposure to climbing, so I appreciated that the instructior was so patient and encouraging. I will definitely return and try it again in the very near future!

This gym is amazing! The staff is great, there are a lot of amazing routes, and the community is awesome!!!They have a lot of walls with preset routes, a moonboard, several spray walls, training boards, and a workout area. They also have a beginner wall with descriptions, a self delaying system, several chillout areas, shoe rental, and so on.Most of the walls are at least slightly overhanging, the routes are relatively hard, and mostly in oldschool style.We love to visit this gym!

This place is a gem, no other way to put it. Over half of the gym is a training facility with multiple spray walls and campus boards. And the spray walls have numerous taped routes which make it even easier to train if you are just stopping in for a day. There are very few gyms left out there like this one. Its great that this place really keeps climbers in mind instead becoming another cookie cutter monochrome low density comp style gym. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I absolutely ADORE this gym! We've only been climbing there for a couple of months, but the staff is super friendly & inviting and they are also VERY covid-19 safe (everyone is wearing a mask, frequently cleaning of popular spots, capacity limit). They turn the gym over about every month (in waves) so there is always a new project to be had. They use a different grading system than the V-scale, so it's a bit hard to know where you fall on the v-scale. Overall, a great spot and friendly for all levels of climbing.

Great facilities and staff. Top notch and really consistent setting - twice a week! They also have really cool community events. You can tell this bouldering gym is locally owned and the owners are rock climbers! B2 leadership handled the COVID-19 challenge better than just about any place I’ve seen. Also just a really fun place to be… There’s always a great vibe with other members and guests.

Really polished feel just outside of Birmingham AL!!Great setting, diversity of movement and wall angles! A well-equipped training section and plenty of training walls (Moon Board, Tension Board, spray wall) means there is something for everyone and then a few more options.
