I dropped in while visiting the city, and I am thrilled I made that decision!
Things I liked:
- The facility is clean and spacious, which creates a great environment for relaxing, hanging out with friends, climbing, eating, working, everything!
- The food was amazing! I had a mango, banana, peach, and orange smoothie with some in-house energy balls (peanut butter, chia seeds, coconut oil, whey protein, some other delicious goodies to keep me going)
- Staff is so friendly and welcoming!
- An area with exercise equipment, rings (my favorite!) and huge campus boards!!
- The problems are set very well. I very much enjoyed the diversity of route-setting that ranged from technical to dynamic/power moves. Everything was set very well! I also appreciate that many of the problems involved slopers and less crimpy moves that often kill my fingers. After 3.5 hours of climbing and a night of rest, my fingers still work as i type this review up (but my forearms...)
Things I didn't like:
- Beta bloc is a bouldering haven, but unfortunately the facility has no rope climbing.
- I noticed a few holds were just a little wiggly up top. It doesn't affect the climbing, but I can imagine a less experienced climber may be bothered by that.
- Perhaps the addition of a moon board if demand arose would be nice..
Overall, an amazing climbing gym! I will make sure to return when I am in the area again. Thank you for an awesome experience! read more
