    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.

    We'll run. Helpful staff. We all had fun climbing! I thought it was a bit expensive, but the kids say well worth the price.

    Members only climbing on holidays is a strange restriction, and makes no sense. I understand punch cards carry over but if you’re on a climbing schedule it’s inconvenient. And I’m sure there’s plenty of space for more climbers. Facility is nice. Overhang is limited since it’s so low to the ground. The set currently is okay. Mix between dynamic and static climbing. Could def use some larger volumes to create more interesting climbs. Amazing and friendly staff. The grading is in sections which feels a little lazy to me. Compared to grading something specifically V7 or V9. Store is nicely decked out. Could sell some cheaper chalk. I’m comparing this to the touchstone branch in CA which is my home gym. Our membership is significantly more expensive so for the price I think it’s definitely worth it. I’m just sad entire days are blocked out and I have to train on monkey bars in the cold.

How much does it cost?

A day pass is $17. If you need equipment its about $8. So less than $30 for everything and it's pretty fun.

If you are a 1st time visitor are you required to take the 3 hour orientation?

No. Orientation takes about 15 to 20 minutes I'd guess.
