The dive bar of climbing gyms. Pro-tip: head to the Climbing Co-op on a Monday to catch a great group of supportive climbers, then head to Fair State Brewing with the group around 8pm.

People weren’t cool there. Whoever was working was rude and the problems are too smashed together... hard to know what you’re climbing.

Definitely a personal favorite. I work at one of the other climbing gyms in the cities and appreciate being able to climb in a quieter, more personal space while I'm not at work. It feels like home every time I walk in, and I've gotten significantly stronger climbing here. This is a close-knit community and a good space to make new friends or just do your own thing, depending on how you feel. The setting is solid, and I love that it's a co-op!
