My first time climbing! I’m an overweight, middle-aged, out-of-towner, and I could not have felt more comfortable or welcome. Nick harnessed the kids and me, toured us through the space, and knew exactly how to help us feel at home. I would have felt intimidated by this place but they really make it easy. Highly recommend.

Took our grandkids for the first time, ages 7 & 10. We were really surprised at the lack of help & supervision of the climbers. Other than fitting them in their gear & showing them how to hook harness once, nobody came around to see if they were doing it right or if we needed help or if they were on equipment for their ability. I even mentioned to attendant about helping since it was our first time. Kids ended up having a great time & did well climbing. Luckily my husband could check their harness & we supervised. Another couple brought their son for the first time & seemed to be at a loss as to what to do. We were helping them.

I enjoy this gym, I don't come here as often as I would like just because of the distance it is from me but I do enjoy my time here when I am here, Lots of top rope climbs to do and they have a decent amount of auto belays and bouldering climbs to do as well. They also have a nice little area upstairs to do other forms of exercise that isn't climbing. Little bit of weight lifting equipment, treadmill, etc. I would absolutely consider a membership here if you like climbing.

Love the vibe they have there. Their style of routsetting feels different from other places I’ve been, which was refreshing. Grading is a bit stiff for indoors. Training area looked nice for the gym size.

I do get the feeling that, if you climbed there regularly, you’d run out of new climbs at your grade rather quickly. They make the most of their space, though, so I can’t be too harsh. Still very much recommend giving them a visit.

A fantastic place to climb, especially as a beginner. They have a tonne of self/automated belaying devices, which makes it super fun and flexible, if you came on your own.
The bouldering walls also have a huge variety and get changed out frequently.
The height of the rock climbing walls is so awesome! It definitely tests you 😄 A lot of routes for different difficulty and experience levels.
An absolute 10/10 experience is topped of with a super friendly team out the front. Plus if you do need any gear, you can purchase it or lease it on the spot.

We tried indoor rock climbing once somewhere else and were instantly hooked. So when we found this place 15 min from us we had to give it a try. Pricing was fair for everything they provide, staff was patient and gave us a lay of the land. There is something for a fair amount of ages and levels ( my two boys 12 & 6) both stayed busy and enjoyed their time there. Challenge is definitely there for adults and advanced level. They explained the rules and safety procedures very well, allowing us to have a great time, but still knowing staff is always available if we need it. We will be going back for sure and making frequent visits.

We visited On The Rocks for the first time today and were very impressed with the facility and staff. The staff member working there gave us a tour and a safety briefing. My girls who are 7 and 8 had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back. I can't remember the staff member's name but she was lovely and really kind to my girls who were excited but a little nervous. She showed them how to clip in and they had them demonstrate it back to her a few times till they felt confident. She covered the safety briefing very well as well. She was very informative and kind the entire time we were there!

A true local gem, On the Rocks is not your typical rock climbing gym. Their youth training program is incredible. For a sport where there is so much to learn—strategy, vocabulary, safety, and form—they really teach do everything to make their students confident climbers. They spark the interest and drive passion in the youth who they work with. It’s really incredible that we have a local rock climbing gym and instructional center that is this impressive.

I love the vibe at OTR!! Been coming up this gym since the day they opened and it feels like home. The staff is incredibly attentive and there is always someone on the floor to make sure that everyone is using the safest methods. The route setting is stiff, but is pretty accurate to what you'll find outdoors. Some recent feedback has clearly been taken to heart, as they're setting more easy warm-up routes, making it a great place for beginners to learn. Further, there are plenty of auto-belay stations so someone can show up with no skills and still climb all day! The gym also has yoga (Maita is my favorite instructor), gear for purchase, and lots of climbing courses! Highly recommended!

Dangerous place to climb. My girlfriend recently got into this sport, and was super excited to find a gym close to home. Sadly I've come to realize this place is not a good place for beginners.

The prices are decent, especially with their first time package. But thats where the deal ends. She received a 15 minute introduction to the gym, but was given no real instruction, nor was she offered any kind of class for beginners.

They require you to book time online for covid, yet theres always at least 20+ people in there coming at all times.
Today 5/2 she was again attempting to try one of their on your own climbing walls. About 20 minutes in some girls come in with a toddler and let the kid run around. Now my girlfriend is inexperienced in climbing, and learning on her own is tough, having the fear of landing on a child whos running around unsupervised was enough to erode her confidence.

We wont be returning here again. Id rather take her out to the gyms in lakewood and cleveland that are serious about helping people get into this sport and learning to climb with safety and confidence.

Had an instructor and customer giving me advice and encouragement to get past a portion I was having trouble with. For a newbie this was awesome and gave me the confidence to "just send it" and reach the grip (after a couple tries).

Took my 14 year old with me and took the belay class as well. Instructor was great and supportive. Would definitely take the belay course if you plan on climbing more than just a couple times. It opens a ton of extra options.

Will be back again and bringing a couple more people!
