Fun place for bouldering. Friendly people and cheapest place in the cities. Courses are harder here than others, so be warned

This place is the perfect spot for me. Because I work at bars, I have a very odd schedule. I come in to climb around midnight, put on my music and it’s always a great workout, with great routes set. And always clean!On top of being the only gym that can fit my schedule, it’s also the cheapest, and my favorite one I’ve been to. Very much worth the membership fee!

Very cozy place that makes a lot of sense for climbers who have flexible schedules that needs a central location in thr cities to climb. While there are many other indoor bouldering sites, this one definitely ranks in the highest percentile. Good problem setting, highly efficient use of the space given, great home for any boulderer.

The Minnesota Climbing Coop is the best place to climb in the Twin Cities, simply because of the community. The community here is friendly, inclusive and supportive of all climbing abilities. Keep up the great work!
