"Best $7.00 spent for Wednesday ladies night! My friend came bouldering for the first time. They were super nice by allowing my friend to climb without shoes. Friendly atmosphere, with a little bit more of dog hair on the mats, but otherwise, super fun place to spend a chill evening with friends."

"This gym is amazing with very friendly staff! The bouldering section is small but offers a wide variety of Bouder problems. The TR and AB climes are fun and have lots of each difficulty. The lead area is by far the best in the area. It has many routes with creative volumes and a steep overhang. Quickdraws are already planned out on the wall resulting in less gear needed when coming to the gym. This gym also has a brand-new drinking fountain to help with better hydration. This gym is located in the center of Las Vegas, accessible to everyone with it cheap prices and a steal of a membership."
