It's so great, I'm not sure where to start. My kids, wife, and I have been going for 7 months and love it (we have learned how to climb here!). The staff is friendly, and everyone is willing to help you learn if you need a tip or two on how to get going. Bouldering and top rope are both great, and my wife is excited to use the weights area as well. New routes and problems pretty much every week as well. Fairly priced, especially for new people who get to borrow shoes.

Special shout out to the community with regard to kids: I bring my 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son. I've was so worried that people would treat them like they are in the way, or get frustrated when every now and again they act like kids and forget who's turn it is, or to come down a wall quickly, or to not walk under someone (we try really hard to teach them right!). I will say, this community has been so supportive, and most of the time it's like my kids have a fan club - people step up to spot them, tell them how great they're doing, or just generally are patient with them. It's a wonderful atmosphere and my kids simply love it. Without this, we wouldn't come, but with this, it's our single favorite activity for free time. To the gym and the community: Thank You!!
