Just a great place to have fun and get a fantastic workout at the same time. The membership has grown, the vibe is great, the staff is awesome. Always someone of similar skill to meet up and climb with.

It's nice to have a place for people to do that isn't overpriced. Quite a few climbing walls for a smaller place. It's perfect for our community. I love all their free-climb walls, roped & harnessed walls, and they have soft landing pads when you fall or jump down. The prices are pretty good. Especially for the fact that the facility is open 24 hours a day for monthly members. My teenage son and his friend had a great time climbing for their first time, and they are not athletic at all. It is also a good place for large groups for birthdays.

The bouldering and top rope routes were great. Checkin staff was friendly. I would have loved to give this place 5 stars, but they had a group of little kids running around, and literally screaming, completely out of control. There was a very young gentleman (ok, kid) "in charge" of them, but he wasn't even close to being in charge. They were running up and down the bouldering area, not looking out for anybody on the walls. One kid grabbed an older gentleman's chalk bag, chalked up, and then dumped the bag in the process. The older gentleman was not impressed at all. The kid said he thought the chalk was for everyone. Nobody was watching him. The kid group then moved over to the auto-belays. The kids would each take one of the only 4 autobelays, and climb random holds to about half way up, then come down, and do it over and over again. When tired, they'd just lay on the ground at the bottom, still hooked in. After waiting quite a while for a route, I asked the kid on it (the instructor wasn't around), if I could give it a go, and he just said he was going to switch routes with his buddy. (He eventually relented after a stern talking to). They really need a much more responsible person running any kids program they have.
