What parents say
"I've been climbing regularly here for almost a decade. I've been to other franchises, other rockspot locations, but this gym remains my favorite due to the wonderful staff. I've never been anywhere so universally welcoming, the vibes are excellent. everyone there clearly enjoys climbing and is invested in making sure you're enjoying climbing too. There are pride flags everywhere, and while I can't share details, I will say that I have witnessed them being true allies in the face of intolerant behavior from a climber. These are good people."

"We love this place. We just had my 6 year old birthday party at the Lincoln location with Kelsey and Daisy and they were great. Everyone so friendly and everyone loved it. It is our second party there and I am sure he wants it at Rock Spot next year. I recommend everyone to try it for parties or just for fun."

"Drove over an hour to get here because their website said they closed at 11 had no information on the fact that they were closing at nine today and they say it’s due to the weather however it is perfect outside at the moment. The man who approached me gave me no further information and essentially just shrugged me off"
