Yue Zhang
“A lot of routes, different varieties, slab, overhang, long, short… Best climbing gym in town!”
Tim Petersen
“They have great routes, a clean space, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The only negative I see is a shortage of auto belays. When groups of newer climbers come in (which is frequent) the auto belay area is so full it can be overwhelming. Getting more auto belays would be a great addition.”
