Had a great time climbing here. Not too crowded and great prices for an all day pass. The new owner was super friendly and showed everyone how to use all the equipment. Has a good variety of easy to super difficult climbs with overhangs. Facility definitely is a bit older but that doesn't hinder the climbing experience. I will be going again.

So i saw a lot of mixed reviews and i really wanted to see it for myself. Being totally honest, yes the mats need to be replaced. But thats really about it.Super fun bouldering routes, 2 floors! And a “super cave” you get to climb up through to the second floor. Really unique. They have dedicated warm up routes on the first floor. Its kid friendly! And the staff and patrons were all really cool. Overall, a great experience.In regards to the upkeep, you can tell the staff is aware and really trying.If you want to see improvements, better upkeep, etc. then help then generate revenue by supporting them monetarily! Get a membership, invite friends, go to their events. You get it.

This gym is amazing great technical walls and great bouldering areas. If u are into rock climbing or even thinking about getting into it the owner is awesome at setting u up to climb and feel safe. It’s a hidden gem for sure it always looks closed from the outside but it’s just the dark tint on the windows! Head in you won’t be disappointed

Been coming to this gym for a couple months now with friends. We became members together. Even got my wife to join today. Sean and Emily are so nice and down to earth. I appreciate the advice I have received from them and how welcoming they have been. I’m new to climbing but have been to 3 gyms here and found my home at Climbmax!

This place is garbage. It’s so dirty. Hasn’t been cleaned/maintained in years. Loose holds. Torn mats. Light bulbs need to be replaced. Drinking fountain is broken. Dead bugs. Don’t waste your money.

Richard is super nice. Tons of routes and new ones added weekly. Great bouldering too. Reasonable prices. Only downside is that there aren’t any auto-belays... bring a friend!
