What parents say
"Nice wall. Still new, well maintained. Few things: 1) Small. Not a lot of room, was not very crowded when I was there, but definitely can get packed. 2) No moon/kilter board 3) Pricey for what you get - 30 something dollars for a day pass 4) So much face - most of the wall is face/slab, which means that around v6-v7 you start getting mean cripms, which I like, but not for all... Nice central mushroom. To sum up, nice experience, on the pricey side, would expect more."

"Smaller gym, pretty spendy at about 30 per person for a day pass, but not terrible. Vibes were fun, but a little on the corporate side. They have a pretty small warmup/workout area upstairs with a few free weights and two pullup bars. Setting was good, but a little soft. I climb v4-v5 in the Midwest and maybe v4 outdoors, but was flashing v5s in this gym. Definitely made for a fun time though."
