Poor management and horrible safety cautions. I am an experienced climber and I already knew the safety precautions, but they did not tell the young ones. One got hurt and the staff only blamed the adults even though they did not explain what is “normal”. Horrible experience and I do not recommend this place. Place is dangerous and staff is poor tempered when it’s their fault.

Our group had zero climbing experience and thought this place looked like fun so we planned a day trip.The place looked even more impressive in person. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. We used the autobelay systems only and the bouldering areas inside and outside. Very fun and had some very challenging routes (from a noob standpoint). Equipment rental was cheap (10$).Tldr; Super fun place. Would recommend.

We had our sons 10th birthday party here. All wild boys! Everything was really great and super fun. My only issue was that during our climbing time, there was a class being taught as well. The staff kept telling our boys to "be quiet" "calm down, we have a class going on." I suggest maybe not scheduling birthday parties during training classes, is all. One, it was a group of young boys and two it was birthday party! Things are going to get fun. Other than that, it went perfect!

Probably the best place to go for rock climbing training/exercise without going to Chicago, or the southern tip of Illinois.

Wow, what a special place! 65 foot high climbing routes inside the guts of an old grain elevator! The poured concrete silo walls (complete with old cracks as "naturals") offer many interesting climbing options not found on more typical climbing walls.
