I haven’t visited here since it was called planet Granite. I like the variety of bouldering and top roping climbing walls. The workout gear is also good and they have a few treadmills. The bathrooms are clean too, so overall a great place. The only thing is bring a jacket because it can be windy and cold if it’s in the 50s or below outside.

One of the worst gyms I've been to actually. Super expensive, only old small holds which are slippy as hell. Maybe some people like that and if it's a couple of boulders like that fine but not all of them and not for this price mark.

I have been a member for a few months now and I have been constantly disappointed how overcrowded this gym is. I honestly believe the gym should enforce a capacity limit. People walk under the climbing rope or bump into the belayer is a safety concern.As mentioned in other reviews, children run wild here. I understand this is the responsibility of the parents, but parents should be held accountable. This is a space for all climbers regardless of age, everyone should be respectful & mindful of others. I give 5 stars to the friendly and welcoming staff. The restrooms, showers, and sauna are clean. The towels are often stocked as well. The routes and grading are great. Your best chances for a great climb are weekday mornings and Saturday & Sunday evenings. Overall, be aware that this is crowded gym and patience is needed.

Gym is really large with 2 boulder areas. The top rope and lead sections have great diversity in grades and a good variety for lead climbers which was exciting! There were some really tall walls and some shorter walls, so it was good for all people. The actual gym area was one of the largest I've seen at any climbing gym and really well equipped. The things I'm not a fan of are more so issues that I have with all movement gyms- there are GrirGris attached to all the top ropes, not all of them are smooth for belaying. Also you have to schedule a lead test way in advance, so if you're just visiting occasionally it's hard to be able to lead. This gym has a few area in ropes and the front boulder pit where there was a lack of lighting and it was really dark midday. Otherwise great experience first time!

Movement (formally Planet Granite) is one of the best climbing gym franchises, and this is probably their best location. They offer everything for top rope and bouldering, with lots of heady lead climbing walls too. They have the standard …

Large parking area. Nice bathroom with large lockeroom, showers, and sauna. Good routesetting, plenty of rope climb routes, up to 5.13+ and a decent amount of bouldering routes from grades V0-V12/13. Very nice training and gym area. Can get very crowded in the evening and night, and there is some congestion in certain bouldering areas.

I like this gym a lot! Has a lot of rope climbing & bouldering. It gets very crowded right after working hours. If you're looking to climb a lot, come later or earlier. If you're looking to chat and socialize, come during peak hours! Lots …

I love this climbing gym for the top ropes and and lead routes. But this gym gets 3 stars due to staff not intervening when members are misbehaving. I have been a member for three months now, and this is a chronic issue that is at its worst …

I would not recommend this gym for bouldering, unless there's no other option.The top rope and lead areas looked good. The shop was good. I loved the garage …

Make sure to bring your own towel during peak hours or be forced to dry your self with your own clothes. Don’t expect them to answer the phone either to help you out. I’m not that mad any more, but the uncomfortable inside out wet drive …
