“Jerimiah and the other front desk staff were great. They made us feel welcome and gave a thorough introduction to the gym. I love the setting, particularly their hold selection. I felt the climbs offered unique challenges even at the "easier" grades. It was a fun place to hangout, and I wish I could have stayed all day!”
