I took the top rope 101 class. Not only did I learn a lot, and how to do things properly, but had a lot of fun too! Everyone was welcoming and chill, but everyone from staff to people working out were looking out for each other. Great sense of community which is great for a newbie like me.

I took the Rock Wall 101 class with Allie. Apparently it was her first time teaching the course, but there was no way of knowing. She was SO professional while being SO warm and welcoming. Allie taught me the basic necessities, while sharing tips and tricks of a professional. She was extremely patient and made sure I was comfortable and confident with everything she was teaching me. It completely relieved the pressure I was feeling coming in. This was such a great experience for me and I would recommend any aspiring climber to take this course with Allie!

I had an excellent experience at Upper Limits. I signed up for a class, and in addition to the instructions in the initial confirmation e-mail, I was called the night before to remind me to arrive early. The class was great, the instructor Caesar explained things clearly and was very helpful for me as a complete beginner. I love the variety of activities available, as I was able to try climbing with both an auto-belay and a partner-belay on the top ropes, and also got the chance to try bouldering both inside and outdoors. This facility was large and has a lot of climbing courses for all levels. I will definitely be coming back!

My son completed the 5-day adventure camp (half-day). He had so much fun! The camp “counselors” were so great with the kids and had as much energy as they did. They activities were varied, both with the climbing and during non-climbing portions of the morning. We are looking forward to signing up again in the future!
