Kids loved the intro lesson, awesome facility, Josiah was an excellent patient informative teacher
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids aged 6 and up. The Intro to Climbing class is the recommended entry point for children with no prior experience. Auto-belays let kids climb independently after a brief orientation. Adults can pursue belay certification as kids take lessons.

“I’ve had a membership for a while and I absolutely love it, no complaints though it’s kinda expensive but the building is huge and coming here is always so great, and the staff is so nice every time, especially Joe.”

“I really want to give this place 5 stars but not being able to sign up for a class by myself is severely limiting.”
