Great staff, great location. Limited space, but still great walls. Very beginner/ intermediate friendly, also family friendly.

Kids loved it. Clean! Competitive team sports inspire, a fat, alcoholic gambling culture. Co-ed, non competitive activities make for fit, active and string country.

This is a great place to climb. But during this pandemic I have showed up several times when the website says open, only to have doors locked, with employees climbing inside and not even having the courtesy to post a "not open" sign, or even updating their hours on the door. Instead the employees are going to climb right in the front windows while 3 customers walk to the door confused. Very frustrating when considering a membership.

A great experience. I went not knowing what to expect as I hadn't done it before. The employee was extremely helpful. Even though it pulled him in a lot of directions he went above and beyond to explain things and even recommend courses to us based on our skill level. The atmosphere is very inviting and everyone seemed to be having fun. It wasn't overly crowded but it also wasn't dead. All in all this is definitely a spot I'd recommend anyone check out if you're even remotely interested or even just looking to change up your workout routine!

Great bouldering location. Has a great mix of challenges for practicing various levels of difficulty and skill. Changes out challenges fairly often. Can get a bit crowded at times.

I've been going basically since this place opened and see it grow and change a lot. There's a great, friendly community of regulars, but I see new people pretty much every time I go too. The routes are varied in difficulty and terrain, and they change the problems regularly enough that it doesn't get too stale, but you'll have time to try that one you've been wrestling with over and over again.I haven't tried the yoga or exercise classes but I hear good things.It can get a little hot in the summer so dress appropriately.Overall great place for all ages and skill levels, as long as you aren't expecting ropes (hence the name).
