"Cool gym, but in light of what else is available in town, I'd only go here occasionally. For what it is, it's amazing. It reminds me a lot of the Momentum in Houston. The top out boulders are very cool. They set hard here, and the problems didn't seem nearly as fun as at the other gyms. I climbed early in the morning, so there weren't many people around. The showers were super clean. The staff was friendly. They offered me a 2 week trial membership for about $40, which will get you into all three gyms in town. If I lived in salt lake, I'd definitely be a member at Momentum. If you live in the "
