“It was great”
Austen Huddleston
“This was my little man and i’s first time climbing with these guys in lees summit and it was amazing. From the hospitality to the training when we came in and walking us through. Not to mention the cute girl at the counter that’s also a pre school teacher I over heard her talking about. 🤪 she’s very good with the kiddos even when there were some not listening so well. Definitely a family friendly environment. 10/10 recommend and we will be back.”

“The people at the front desk were extremely rude, and profiled my friend and I. They asked us if we had smoked anything that day, and insisted that we smelled like weed. My friend works at a dispensary, and was around it all day. God forbid that she wants to come to gym and climb after work. Very disappointed by how we were treated and looked at. It was worth the drive to RoKC, same price and better climbs. The vibes were much better there too!!”
