“Dropped in from out of town. Very different from my usual bouldering gym but I loved it. Friendly people, extremely chill atmosphere. Not too many people. I went on a Thursday and they were playing climbing trivia, which was really fun but calm! The walls were a pretty good height. Setting was solid, though I wish there were slightly more climbs that really involved balancing. Day pass was a bit pricey but not absurd. But still a great experience. Will go back whenever I am in Boulder.”

“Gabby taught the beginner bouldering class with exquisite precision and care. She metered out a boat load of information at an absorbable pace. It was so well done my friend and I signed up for a comp with one hour of experience under our belts🙏🏻”
