What parents say

Great rock climbing gym and perhaps the first gym I have ever felt I belong at. They have incredible staff, a nice little shop, a nice weight room, yoga classes and a really nice building with well maintained equipment and climbing walls.

★★★★★ — Philip, May 2023

This place is great! Huge rock gym with ~50 or 60ft walls, autobelays, all types of bouldering (overhang, cave, slab, etc), moon board, kilter board, campus boards, and a small workout area with a squat rack and some plates. Great place to bring kids.

★★★★★ — Justin, Dec 2022

I’m in town for a work trip and happened upon this gym while at the Lowes next door - and I’m very glad I did. I’ve been in twice already; once as a solo climber and once for a one-on-one instruction session to focus on my technique.

★★★★★ — Tory, Jun 2021

This climbing is really really nice. I've only been doing the bouldering, but the top roping looks phenomenal. As far as bouldering goes, the grades are well distributed so it's great for both beginners and advanced.
