Great 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!

I unfortunately only got to come here once during a business trip, but it is a great gym.
Rope, autobelay and bouldering. One of the best kids areas I've seen. Like the chairs made out of crash pads.
I agreed with the grading levels. I always like gyns that do a tbd for a minute, had plenty available.
Slabs had lot of traversey, technical options. They also have a little top out area on part of it. Autobelay rputes were great - loved a few mystery ones. The walls are short because of the building height but just means you have to climb more!
I had previously strained some pulleys so I had to take it easy, but I really liked the environment here. A few puppers laying around, relaxed people, kids enjoying an actual equipped kids area.
I highly recommend. A humble and friendly place.
