This was home away from home when the big gyms are more than an hour away!
Even though it's only bouldering, the routes are set and graded fairly and it's a decently-sized gym to get a workout and technique.

Went there for kids birthday party. There wasnβt any thing for the littles to do. Maybe just not a good fit for a 7 year old party.

Iβm disappointed theyβre changing the minimum age to 10. My kids loved this place but are no longer old enough to go.
Edit: I called and was told that for now the age is 5 but that very soon itβll be 10 and that youβre getting rid of the kids area.

We booked a birthday party here today for my 10 year old and 9 other children. While the gym is fun, I donβt know that Iβd schedule another party here again. The childrenβs climbing area was closed for construction or something, which was never explained to me while booking. They gave the kids access to the main bouldering area and explained the rules and then let the kids explore. While I understand this is a gym and things echo, the entire time we were there one of the two staff members would come over and ask the kids to use βinside voicesβ, none of these kids were even yelling, they were talking excitedly It felt like we were walking on egg shells the entire time. I understand safety concerns like not standing below someone that was climbing, but these kids were constantly being told not to be quiet. I could tell the other gym goes didnβt appreciate having kids in their bouldering area, I feel like the gym should shut down to other patrons during kidsβ party times they offer if their customers are irritated with the birthday festivities. They offer two time spots for parties and without the kids area open children are apparently just irritating other gym goers. One of my kids said it felt like they werenβt wanted there by other people. I get it, kids can be excitable and get in the way of a gym atmosphere ,but I wouldnβt really recommend booking a party here for kids younger than teen.

A lot of moving parts. Kids enjoyed. I really hate that they sold my email address to sign the waiver with. My inbox is filled with 20-25 different spam emails every day now. You must verify your email with them too, so it opens the door to spam galore. Beware. Really annoying for a birthday party for a friend.

I really like this place but I also really wish they would do something about ventilation. My sinuses and throat always seem to get irritated if I stay too long because of all the floating chalk. It's my only complaint but it does make me apprehensive about going as much as I'd like to.

We recently had a birthday party here and the kids had so much fun! The instructor was patient with them, and really took the time to explain things. Even if you arenβt a rock climber, this is a great place to get a different kind of workout. So much fun and no judgment! Worth a check out for sure!

Management needs replacement.
The gym was staffed with one teenager on a busy Saturday. As a result, the bathrooms were filthy, and ~10 kids were running and chasing another during a birthday party.
The routes were of average quality, but the hold are filthy.
Iβll never come back to this place.

I give this place a solid 4 for my situation. I have younger kids 6 and 4. The website says kids 3 and up can climb. There is a small small kids area best suited for little little kids. It has a slide and big hand grips to make climbing easy. My kids stayed here about 5 minutes and wanted to go out to the big floor. After the apprehension left my older child did pretty well ans liked the easy wall that allowed her to climb up ans over to the other side of a wall. My son was a bit young still and was frustrated with the difficulty level. So in conclusion yes, kids can have fun here but in my opinion for the price it wasn't best for young kids who don't have as many easy spots to climb.

A very nice climbing gym but it was one of the more expensive visits that we had. In Seattle the price was half of this gym and the gym was quadruple the size... But still we had a nice time and found some very cool routes.
The slack line was also very nice to rest in between.

Iβve been climbing at this gym for about 6 months now and I really like it. Itβs a great price (compared to other bouldering gyms), itβs pretty big, has a slackline, workout area, and they rotate routes quite frequently.
I am giving 5 stars because I do honestly recommend the place and it is a great community with very nice and friendly staff and patrons.
I do have a couple suggestions for improvement (writing this more for the owner): The upstairs area does not have any cleaning spray and the yoga mats up there get pretty dirty, would be great if there was cleaning supplies up there. It would be super nice if there was a mirror or two in the workout area. The kids birthday parties/kids in general are not well supervised by adults. Whenever there are kids in the gym they are constantly running under climbers. It would be nice to see the parents have more supervision over their children. Not sure if that is something the staff could re-enforce to the parents that the kids shouldnβt be running under climbers and that their kids should always be in view. This is just a safety concern in my opinion and it happens very often.

We had my son's birthday party here. I am a big guy and don't have a lot of upper body strength so I was worried I would be too big for most of the stuff or too weak to have fun. I was pleasantly surprised. They have something for everyone. We had a great time.

This is one of the underrated climbing gyms. There are plenty routes of everyone. The grading is in par with international standards. The padding is not the softest though, so, jumpers be aware. And The only limitation is the lack of top roping, so perhaps it should be named as a bouldering gym.

Very nice people, great atmosphere, lots of space. The problem is the holds. It seems like some of them have been used for decades and are extremely polished. Worse than the polish, though, is that the holds are terrible on your fingers. Iβve been climbing consistently for 3 years and have a pretty steady routine down. When I tried to do that routine in this gym I ended up with a minor ligament strain after a week. After taking some time off I found that this gym required an extra day or rest between sessions and/or much slower paced climbing sessions.
If youβre new to this gym, Iβd strongly recommend taking it slow. If you own this gym, it needs modern holds.
edit: in response to the comment from the owner, I will say that they did get some new holds in the time that I was there, and that not all of their routes used the holds I'm complaining about. Nonetheless, this was the first time that I've gotten an overuse injury in three years of climbing, having been a regular (3 months +) at 4 different gyms. I've had the same routine (3 climbing sessions a week) at all of those gyms.

My experience left a lot to be desired. Iβm not sure how old the gym is but itβs not aging well. Most of the holds are so worn the texture is completely gone. It made for some very insecure climbing. The routes are hard to read with many missing the finishing tags. Often routes of the same or similar colors overlap. Without a renovation I canβt see a membership being worth the price.

This is the first rock climbing gym I have frequented but it has been great so far. The routes tend to be well thought out and accessible for both beginners and more advanced climbers. The staff are helpful, classes are included in the membership if you want to learn the ropes (or holds rather), and they partner with local businesses to get you membership discounts. Their Facebook page stays active so you know when the walls have changed routes and when they have added new stuff. They are constantly expanding their fitness section offerings and investing back into the gym which is nice to see as a member!
