“Stopped in with my son for his first time climbing and had a blast. Still the same great place after all these years, just more walls to climb. Props to the team for the first timers video, all the rules and courtesies, and fun to watch. Definitely making this a father-son place, once my hands heal. Great staff and good Playlist on a Sunday.”

“The after school rock climbing club was cool and my son loved it but MAKE SURE you bring your own shoes and do not borrow theirs unless you want athletes foot. My son has been battling it for over a year now. Every time we think it’s cleared up it comes back weeks later. He’s 10. It’s annoying. As far as I can tell they do not spray or treat the shoes before or after anyone uses them so the whole place is probably just crawling with foot fungus. We eventually quit the club because it continued to be an issue even after we got him his own shoes.”
