Great Rock climbing place

Great atmosphere. Walls are sightly shorter than Onsight or Climbing Center but routes are creative and satisfying. Recently they have had trouble setting good VB-V2 problems. I think some setters left and the new ones are strong climbers that haven't had much experience setting below their grade and for different body types.

Not very many places to climb in there -- like 2 beginner walls. Crowded and had to wait in line. Walls were just wooden boards.

The students that run the wall are super nice and they provide good equipment from Petzl.
