I’m visiting from Minneapolis. Pretty nice gym and good routes. Personally, this gym had some of the hardest mats compared to some other bouldering’s gyms I’ve been to in the US.

Just started bouldering. This gym has been great for learning how and providing everything you need to get started. Very reasonable price for the day with shoe rental as well. Staff has been friendly. On the days I’ve gone it’s never been too crowded and other climbers have been respectful.

Great place, nice staff, clean facilities. Just be aware that this is not like the other adventure rock, it's only a free climb 20 to 25 ft. We still had a good time though.

I stopped in need of help with some tools for my EV scooter. I was greeted by Mia and after telling her my situation she immediately went looking for tools to help me. Her co-worker(s) were also just as nice and helpful.
