It was my first time doing rock climbing, and was super fun. We had a orientation before we started. It was 34 per person.

Fantastic bouldering gym. Very robust set of walls. They do have top rope setups but the star here is very clearly the bouldering setup.

Great place to take kids who have both above average and below average energy levels , rock climbing is an in the now type of activity forcing one to focus and dig deep for strength .

Great place to come with kids. We had my son's birthday party here and it was great! We've also come for "regular" climbing and really enjoyed that too.

I really enjoy this gym. The staff are kind and helpful, the atmosphere is very inviting and friendly. Good range of climbing types and difficulties, as well as other gym basics like a weight rack, treadmill, and more. Lots of opportunities for community and climbing development, as well as a well-stocked store.

It's a great rock climbing spot in the area. They redo the problems pretty regularly and have wide range for different ages and skill levels. I wish they offered camps and classes just a little bit younger than seven, but other than that this place is great.

This gym is so much fun for bouldering. They have a good variety of different climbing styles and four caves - two that are deep for super fun and challenging routes.For top rope climbing, this location is probably good for beginners and kiddos. There are a number of auto-belays and actually quite a bit of wall for the size of the section they have it in. The walls, though, are probably only 25 feet tall.I highly recommend this gym for bouldering. The staff is awesome, they have great merch, and they stay open later then most. It's all wins for me.

Very well equipped gym even though it's a bit older. It has everything you need to have fun climbing and for training. It has a great varieties of features and climbs. Very nice staff. It has lot of hangboards, weights, bands, a spray wall, a treadwall, and some short TRs. I look forward to going back when I visit Boston next time.

What an amazing experience! This climbing gym leaves nothing to be desired. They have it all bouldering, auto belay, gym equipment and grip boards spaced out.If it is your first time you also get briefing to help with how the auto belays work and what levels to try if you are a beginner.Can't wait for the next experience.

Wow what a great gym & staff. I climbed her back in early March before all of the covid-19 shut downs, but I had such a good time I thought I should still leave a review. Spent about two hours or so working on several boulder problems. I will not that their grading system for the problems are a bit different from then what I'm normally used to. I normally work on boulder ranging from V4-V6, but on Rock Spots rating I was climbing V2-V3.
