The setting was good and the staff was nice but I have to dock a star for the pricing and the lack of changing rooms.Regarding the pricing , the monthly price is 10 bucks more than the Movement gyms in chicago which was quite shocking to me.

Smaller than anticipated. Despite that, the gym feels very open. Even when busy, you never feel crowded at climbs. Ratings seem a little soft, but I've been told my regular gym rates hard.

Recently joined BG and I've been loving it so far! They are completely welcoming to newbies and pros alike, and the make sure that the former (me!) are fully informed and prepared before climbing.

Probably the best bouldering gym in Columbus. Very well maintained, clean, and super fun problems that are just challenging enough for all levels! Worth a visit.
