Came for family night and it was our first time. Great deal and they provided mandatory instructions on both auto belay and bouldering. Daion( not sure of spelling) was great and very helpful. He really helped take the guesswork out of climbing. Thank you

“Thanks Elite Climbing for making my brief visit so much fun! My only feedback is the route marking is really hard to follow. Regardless I recommend a visit!”
Brian Gilfillan
“Staff were friendly and helpful. Boulder route grading is more challenging than "chain" gyms. Humbling and fun!”

“Staff was friendly as far as I could tell and the gym was clean, but in terms of the quality of the ACTUAL CLIMBING, this gym didn’t really hold up compared to others. The wall is wooden and painted, doesn’t have any grippy texture, the holds are indicted with tape instead of color, which is inconvenient, and the bouldering mat isn’t really big enough for safety. Overall, the quality is low.”
