Gecko Climbing Gym

“UPDATED to 5 stars BASED ON THE BELOW EXPLANATION FROM THE OWNER. My personal response: I appreciate your detailed message and would love to understand further the cleaning process. No hard feelings on the previous 1 star, just wanted to ensure my message was received. Please note the focus of my message is on the upstairs facility and bathrooms, and also please note I truly do look forward to coming back here. Your teams efforts deserve a 5 star review and I look forward to being a part of the membership. 1 Star - Hoping to See Improvements Regarding CLEANLINESS I really want to love this gym. For the size of the facility, they’ve done an amazing job with the routes, the equipment, the hours, and the staff - all of that is genuinely 5‑star. I’ve only been in the area for about two months, so I’m not sure if things have changed over the life of the gym, but based on what I’ve seen so far, the lack of cleanliness is the one thing that consistently stands out. It’s very clear that regular cleaning doesn’t take place. Compared to the many climbing gyms I’ve visited around the country, this is by far the worst kept in terms of basic upkeep. Floors, mats, bathrooms, and common areas often look like they haven’t been maintained, which is disappointing because the potential here is huge. I’m leaving this review not to be negative, but in hopes that it leads to real improvements. I’m a local and more than happy to talk about this in person. Even hiring a cleaning crew once a week - or even once a month - would make a noticeable difference. I’ll gladly update this review the moment I see changes. I’d love to become a member, but right now the lack of cleanliness is the only thing holding me back.”

“Friendly gym. Weird route setting thing where they have a uniform style for a climb but end each one with an awkward or reachy move uncharacteristic of the rest of the climb. Lots of self belayers was fun so I could climb beside my friend and get more climbing in. Also, they have gri gris on every rope so you don’t have to bring your own. Also, they could possibly benefit from a consensus grading system where people vote on the grade of each new climb before it has been chosen. Might make the grades more accurate as some felt harder and others easier even within the same climbing styles.”

“The staff are all super friendly & helpful. They are always adding new routes to keep it interesting & challenging. We love the homeschool team.”
