Had a great experience getting to know the boulder garden as I get to explore the neighborhood. Awesome spot, super helpful staff and the routes were creative and well graded. I’ll be sticking around to see where they go with all the new stuff coming to their outdoor section!!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

One of the most youth-focused bouldering gyms in the Triangle. Kids Night on the third Friday of each month gives families a recurring dedicated session. Summer and holiday camps provide structured multi-day climbing education. The range of wall angles suits young beginners through intermediate climbers.
