Not a clean environment, outdated facility, ownership seems to invest money solely in their newer facilities in ST Louis while they left Bloomington in the dust

Everyone was great. Thomas was our MB instructor and the scouts were in awe to find out that he was an Eagle Scout. He was great with the scouts!

I love how safety orientated this gym is. Other Rock climbing gyms in the country are lackluster compared to Upper Limits Bloomington. Great enthusiastic "staff people" and the assistant manager was cute too.

My boy scout troop went here to get our climbing merit badge. I had a fun time. All of the employees were very friendly and I would recommend going there. I would love to be able to go again. Thanks for a fun time.

My daughter did a week long camp and she loved it! She really liked having a small group of kids to climb with. The staff did a great job of keeping everyone safe.

The climbing gym has lots of options like a 110 ft outdoor wall, a few silos and plenty of bouldering options. What it lacks are autobelay walls. There was essentially only one spot since you cannot use the other three that were functional while others are climbing in the adjacent bouldering/lead climbing wall. If you're planning to top rope then I suggest doing the top-rope 101 class so you can belay and have more options for climbing. If not, the outdoor bouldering was a lot of fun and there is plenty to do as long as the weather is nice.
