  • “Gem of a gym, really liked the space and the great, intuitive setting. My partner was appreciative of the fact that blocs were generally accommodating to shorter folks. There's a couple boards and a nice spray wall. Coffee was wonderful as well. Will say this is quite a muggy gym and didn't really hear the HVAC chugging. There are fans placed all over the gym, which helps, but may be suffocating to some. I'm guessing loose chalk has been an issue. The ropes section looked fairly underwhelming. Regardless, we will be coming back if we're back in the area.”

  • “First time ever rock climbing! Had sm fun and I loved the ping pong table too, rlly adds to it. Wish the parking situation was better but overall pretty cool”

  • “I've heard about this gym for years, from YouTube videos and friends. I love the architecture, the spotlights. They have all the best climbing holds, many of which I've never seen before. The routesetting was excellent, on par or better than other local gyms. There were a lot of fun climbs made with expensive holds, which is rare to find in the lower grades. There was plenty of hard stuff, some comp style problems, a wide range of hold types and textures. There was not much overhang, except for a more bare bones old school room in the back with a 45° and maybe even steeper overhang. The people at the front desk were very nice. I had a negative experience signing the waiver, It was a very long complicated process and the front desk person had to help me navigate the iPad. Parking was disappointing. There is a garage across the street, But the gym charges $4 to validate the ticket. Not sure how much this ends up saving you, but for the price of a day pass they should include parking. Overall the gym was cool to visit. I would definitely visit again.”

  • “My first time going here. I got the day pass which includes the day entry, chalk, shoes (about $25) per person. I’m a beginner so there weren’t many places I could climb for 0-2 level. Overall, the place is nice and not that crowded even on weekend. There is a gym inside and ping pong table as well.”

  • “Beautiful new climbing gym with great setting and friendly staff! Mostly bouldering with some top rope. The Cafe is lovely and offers variety of drinks and some pastry. One of the best cllmbing gyms we've been to.”
