Amazing place for bouldering and getting your climbing fix on. It's a co-op, so if you're a member you can Boulder here at any hour of the day. Can't sleep? 2:00am? No big deal, go bouldering! Get off work outside 9-5? Or perhaps you work second shift? No big deal! If you're a member you can come and go at any hour.

This is a great place to explore if you're into gym bouldering. Odd hours because if you buy a certain membership, you get 24 hour access. Fairly regular problem changes. Sometimes a little busy, sometimes you have everything to yourself. Some workout equipment is available. Don't forget to turn off the lights if you're the last one out!

Nice little bouldering gym in the middle of NE Mpls. Has a homy feeling to it. 24h access as a member is amazing!
