I happened to look at my credit card statements a couple of months after the move and noticed the two $80 charges (one for each of the prior 2 months). I cancelled at that point and called them and explained that I had moved and forgot to cancel. They refunded not only the latest month's charge but the month's charge prior to that one too. They really did not need to do that, I was the one who forgot to cancel. But that is what well-run, amazing businesses do. I will not hesitate joining again and I highly recommend this place.

It would be hard to get bored of the climbs there, because there is almost always a route you've not tried yet. This place has more realistic features and cracks that other gyms don't have. The route grades seem a little inconsistent at times, and compared to the other climbing gyms in the Chicagoland area. For example, most routes feel much, much harder than that grade anywhere else. And many of the mid-to-harder grades seem better suited for taller people, as the shorter among us have to dead point or dyno to many of the holds. You'll definitely get braver and stronger climbing at Vertical Endeavors. Room for improvement: The loose black rubber flooring is always a complaint because like a trip to the beach where you find sand everywhere, pieces of this flooring comes home with you. It also leaves black stuff on your hands and feet, so I recommend that you wear socks/closed toed shoes between climbs, because it's not that easy to scrub out.

It was very busy but didn't have to wait too long for any of the auto belays on a weekday evening! Facility was clean and lots of cubby space to keep your belongings while you climb.

When my kiddo was tiny (and content to sit on the sidelines) this was a great place to go and switch off between climbing and watching the kid between my husband and I. Nowadays, kiddo wants to climb herself! Unfortunately for her, none of the walls here are really meant for small kids (which I totally get!). If you are looking for that vibe, go checkout the Brookfield gym, its great for kids! If you come here without little kids (which you probably should!), you will find yourself surrounded by varying angles of wall, from a large slabby area to a very overhung cave. Its not typically too busy when I have gone, so you will have plenty of routes to choose from.

It's very small and smelly because the entire gym is matted and confined, but when there's 20+…read morepeople in it climbing and sweating with their rockclimbing shoes and the place is poorly ventilated and not cooled, it makes sense. Very weird atmosphere...it's more like a social club for college students; most of the climbers just gather around in small groups in front of the routes and talk predominately more than they climb. They mostly just perch down in front of the walls and talk and maybe climb a route once every half-hour. This is a little unfortunate because it's a very small place and they do have places for people to sit and talk and tables outside the area of the climbing, but no one uses them. It would be really nice to sense a change in their business model and see them market to rock climbers and get more energy going in the place with a stronger rock-climbing culture instead of ethnic-culturally centered and queer society, but I guess that's probably the majority of the people who pay for memberships so maybe they don't have a choice.

They claim to have a policy of inclusivity, yet do not. Their managers will even threaten to kick you out of the gym, if you seem to be expressive of a different point of view on topics, misaligned with their own. The weak leadership leads to unprofessional conduct, which in unfortunate, although isolated, situations leads will lead to climbers being attacked. While this place seems like a regular climbing gym, you may very well feel marginalized bullied here, and with an indifference from management and even the owner of the gym. The holds are always grimy, dirty, typically "gunked" with black rubber, sweat and chalk cake. The climbers in this area seem mostly timid and don't like to be approached, but most of them seem like cool people.

The Arlington Heights locations is one of two (soon to be three) that has top rope routes. If you don't have a belay partner, there are a good number of autobelay routes! Depending on the time, the walls can get a little crowded and there always seems to be youth teams and classes going on. For early risers, they have been holding member only hours on Saturdays from 8-10am. In addition to the walls, there's an extensive weights and cardio area, as well as yoga, HIIT, and Pilates classes. Also, they plan various community building activities, including meetups, craft nights, member appreciation nights, injury prevention workshops, and more! For me, First Ascent provides a well-rounded and fun exercise routine with a great community!

Pizza is made from scratch here, not previously made so this next part is very important. We were of the very few people there on Friday afternoon (6/20/2025) and the ONLY people at the counter to order food when we asked if they would put meat on half the pizza and leave the other half cheese. The guy at the register nodded "no" without using words. We were confused - I understand if there's a line how it would be hard to manage getting customers a custom pizza, but we were the only ones there and they wouldn't stop putting meat on the pizza half way and leave the rest to cheese? Are you serious? Pathetic... How about $5 for an order of french fries and getting 20 fries in it? I'm trying to add a photo to prove it, but can't figure out how. I'll post them on social media and do my part to warn other future customers if Urban Air doesn't want to make things right. We ordered two baskets of fries and got 19 in one and 20 in the other! This is worse than a broke food truck... The guy at the register couldn't use words, just head nods and shrugs. When he did speak we couldn't understand him. Look, don't hire people like this - period. If you do, don't put them at the register where they have to interact with your customers. Do I really need to write this in a review for you to hear? Do better! Owner(s) - contact me and make it right. I wrote a complaint today and waiting for a reply.

We stayed in the cabins, ate in one of the cafeterias, and spent most of our time by the beach, in the wood shop, in the chapel (way too cold -- someone turn that air-conditioning down please!), and in the game room pavilion. The cabins were as clean as cabins could be with some bugs (it's summer camp, what do you expect?). One bathroom wasn't enough for a room of ten girls, though! The wood shop was cool, and the girls enjoyed hanging out on the beach nearby, jumping in the water or fishing from the pier. The game room pavilion had chairs and some games to play, but it wasn't as appealing as playing in the park, which was in the middle of everything. The cafeteria/kitchen staff was also very accommodating of my request for vegetarian food. The first year, I was too nervous about asking for special food since it was free, so I just dealt with it and ate meat for a week. The second year, there were more vegetarians among the camp volunteers, so we felt more comfortable asking for vegetarian food. They did a great job remembering us and offering alternative foods. The camp and conference center also has a lagoon, paddle boats, canoeing, a paintball arena, sand volleyball, a gym, some high-ropes course thing, and different paths through the woods for team-building or hiking. Great options and great, friendly staff. There's also a lot of other lodging options and other spots to dine, but our kids didn't spend their time there. I guess three camps could occur at the same time. It's just a summer camp spot, but it's a great spot. I'm looking forward to next year!
