Fun gym. The equipment is solid and the pathing on the walls changes enough that most people will find something to try and be able to work up and challenge themselves.Equipment rental is good, shoes run small but they will work with you to get a pair that fit.Auto belay walls are awesome. The environment is friendly. The staff were helpful with everything and helped me with the sign in process (the system was having issues and they resolved it efficiently.)

I’ve been climbing during the winters the last few years with some friends and have been impressed with the facilities and staff. Since early December we’ve been taking advantage of the various yoga classes that are offered, mainly at North Rokc. We’ve gravitated towards Cole’s Thursday and Saturday classes. He seems to really understand each students level and offers advice and adjustments where needed. He challenges you and adds in a dash of humor to boot. I’ve made steady progress and the flexibility and strength translate into all aspects of life.

I brought my friends here when they came to visit KC and we all had a blast. My favorite is definitely the auto belay paths which are super accessible for all skill sets and fun to descend with. I wish there were more auto belay paths and it’s smaller than some other ROKC locations while being similarly pricy, but definitely worth it for the experience.

The overall feel and vibe is fantastic, the repurpose of an old industrial building is really fantastic and rustic. The climbing was great and had a solid amount of challenge, I do think the only thing a little odd was not using the Yosemite decimal for the routes, besides that the routes felt accurately rated for what they were. The checkin process was great and the staff were friendly. Getting a belay check was simple enough but It did lack a buddy check to ensure that the harnesses were correctly put on and that all straps were double backed. It would also be nice if they had some indication that you were belay checked. They are overall minor things overall but I would definitely go back!

ROKC North is a great facility. The staff is awesome and it feels very welcoming, especially for a new climber coming on her own - I didn’t feel intimidated or excluded at all and it has quickly become a staple of my daily routine. I just tried my first yoga class (Yin Yoga with Cole at 7pm) and it was so relaxing and restorative. It felt like a luxury spa experience! The monthly membership is reasonable and the many autobelay options mean that you can come solo and spend as much or as little time as fits your schedule.

Caters to children who are trying to get into climbing. Everyone has been nice to my 4.5 year old. I teach him the basics and the etiquette. His pass is free bc of his age. They offer harness and shoe rental for just under $9. This place is great.

We had such a good experience here! We came mid morning on a weekday, and practically had the place to ourselves. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The student rate + equipment rental was blessedly affordable. Our group had a great time and didn’t want to leave when it was over. We will absolutely be back!
