“Great gym! Friendly Staff! Connor (Sorry if I spelled it wrong) gave me beta for a local crag, Evan was super friendly, and Will told me where to get some great affordable lobster! The setting of the boulders was fun and challenging. Constructive criticism: the kilterboard has had a lot of love and the holds should be rewashed or thoroughly brushed.”
