Great bouldering gym, this is an awesome addition to the 2 gyms that 5.Life has in Columbus and definitely provides climbing for those that are further south. It's literally inside the scioto Audubon park which is awesome because it means if you really want to you can bring your harness and rope and do some top rope/lead climbing as well but only during nice weather. The routes at this gym are fun, the kliter board was awesome to use, and the holds have great friction on them right now and it was a super clean gym.

It's so awesome that 5.life has been providing a crazy amount of climbing access to the columbus area. Bloc Garten is a huge bouldering gym with unique routes and a brutally long cave climb. The kilter board is loads of fun especially with the adjustable angle.

Awesome bouldering gym on the south side. Great setting. If you are new to climbing and want to try something before taking on ropes this is a good start.
