Consider this a 5-star review for Alex Davis, LEF's newest trainer and climbing coach. I met Alex tonight when she overheard me say the bathroom was out of soap and kindly offered to take care of it. Alex spoke first, made eye contact, smiled, and asked how I was doing. She was warm, welcoming, and very friendly. It was my first experience of this kind with a LEF staff member. As a member of the gym and patron since its opening, it felt wonderful to be noticed and served. Thanks, ALEX!

Took my young kids and toddler here and they had a great time! This is fun place for kids and adults. They also have a very nice gym, offer yoga classes, and climbing instruction.

Awesome place; not many climbing gyms, even in large metros, have such high walls, I really like the 50ft walls, feels extra accomplishing when reaching the top.

This facility takes the cake, for sure. The staff are friendly, nice, and patient with the first timers. There is a wide variety of bouldering, autobelay, top rope, and lead climbing. I just happened to stroll in here while being away from my home town, based on recommendation of a family member. This place definitely does not disappoint. Highly recommend!

Our kids had an amazing time! Very knowledgeable staff and clean facilities. We did not have any issues of finding a rope for the kids to use. We will go back! :-)

Great place, lots of climbing walls, laid back staff. Rental equipment was clean and well maintained. The only thing that would have made it better is if there were more climbing walls for beginners. Still, I had a ton of fun, and I can see myself wanting to go back at some point!

A climbing gym that has something for all skill levels! The staff is friendly and always willing to help patrons climb better, smarter and offer advice on problems.They have both boulder walls and route walls. The route walls can be top roped, lead climbed, or auto-belayed depending on which route it is.They have showers and towels in the bathrooms for anyone to use.For certain memberships they have a weight room and training room available for use. The training room is set up with a moon board, a lattice systems board, and they have like 3 or 4 different hang board options.In the regular gym area they have tons of seating. Benches near the bouldering walls, and lots of tables and chairs in between the routes and the boulder walls. They also have a campus board (with different size ledges to grab on) and a hang board for anyone to use.Don't have your own equipment? They rent everything from shoes, harness, rope, belay device.... anything you need to climb that day. They also have things for sale like snacks, some T-shirts, and sometimes rental shoes.
