I was a member of the Manhattan Plaza Health Club climbing gym for a year. I learned to rock climb, but spent the majority of my time bouldering in the back. The staff is so great and helpful, not intimidating at all. The regulars are like a big supportive group of friends, cheering each other on and helping you reach your goal.

I really liked climbing here. It isn't huge, but they change the courses often enough with a variety of difficulty levels, so it remains challenging and new each time you go.
