Hi My niece, six-years-old, and I went into for open climb on Saturday, March 28, and it was the best experience. The female instructor working Saturday afternoon was so kind, friendly and helpful, taking extra time to chat with my niece -who loved learning about all the different climbs and trying them out. We will definitely be back and appreciate how welcoming this gym is.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids aged 5 and up who want an introduction to climbing in a non-intimidating environment. The dedicated kids' wall and attentive staff make first visits easy. Access Fridays are the lowest-barrier entry point. Youth programs suit children ready for structured progression.

β€œBeen a member for 3 months now and really enjoying it! Never climbed much before this but have been loving the journey of becoming a better climber every time I come in. Great weight / gym area as well, everything you need to get a great workout in when you don't feel like climbing.”
