- RGRyan GeorgeDec 25, 20255.0I love this place! I live out of town but drive well out of my way when in town to work out here. The bouldering area and climbing-specific workout zones are excellent
- NFNatalie FlemingOct 10, 20255.0Great kids climbing experience! My 7-year-old had an awesome introductory rock climbing lesson here. The facility is well-maintained and atmosphere was positive and supportive. We will definitely be back!
- WGWayne GilesFeb 5, 20232.0Came here for a visit while I was in town on business. Google says this is the premier climbing gym in Omaha... highly disagree. First of all, they advertised having 12 auto-belay lanes for solo climbing, and they only had... maybe six? The building they are in isn't very tall, so all tall routes are only maybe 15-20 feet tall at most. They're more like advanced Boulder problems than proper tall routes. Routes are color graded, which is fine, but took a little getting used to. I showed up at 7, and the employee at the front desk made sure to tell me multiple times that they closed at 8, so "are you sure you wanna climb?" After getting the safety brief I was released to do my thing. At approximately 755, I finished and started removing gear to leave. Right at 8, a number of people were showing up and putting on harnesses and just starting their climbs. So wait, you close at 8, but only for me? No clue what that was all about. I did not use the bouldering area, so I can't comment on that side. Seemed okay though. Overall, pretty unimpressed. I thought that being on a time crunch would make it so I would have to rush through climbs, but with so little to climb by myself, I ran out of routes in maybe 30 minutes. Will not be coming back.
