Dropped into the intro class at The Spot and man, Gabi is the real deal. She’s got that rare combo of being a technical pro while being just a genuinely rad human to hang with. She had our whole crew fired up from the first warm-up, and honestly, her stoke is the reason I’m already looking for my own chalk bag. If you want to learn to climb without the ego, go find Gabi.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children roughly 8 and up, particularly those new to climbing who benefit from structured instruction. The intro class format removes the guesswork for first-timers. Younger children may find the physical demands challenging without prior exposure to climbing movement.

β€œI really want to give this place five stars, but for a couple of reasons I'm going to keep it four for now. In the last few months, there's been a serious quality degradation with setting. Probably half the routes have absolutely insane reaches, to the point where you're almost dynoing to get up a top rope route. If they can fix this, and make the setting more conducive to normal gym climbing, I'm happy to make this five stars, but I know several people on the shorter side who basically can't climb certain routes without extreme changes to how they typically climb. I'm five-ten, and I sometimes almost have to or have to dyno to move from one hold to the next. But otherwise, this gym is really nice. It really feels like the routes are being set by a bouldering route setter, who could use a little bit more intuition about how top rope routes usually flow.”
