Edgeworks has multiple locations but I like the Bellevue spot the best so far. Plenty of room and lots of different climbs. One bouldering area where you climb up and over the top then may need to walk across the landing to the climb down area. Bathrooms are always clean. read more

Was invited here by a family friend and had a blast! Facility was clean, staff was friendly, and got our adrenaline going. Our 6 year old gave it a shot too and already wants to go back. We went during family day - believe they have this once per month so it was discounted rates $13 and included shoe / harness. Walk over to Dicks for burgers, fries and shakes afterwards (same parking lot) and Daiso for Daiso fans :) read more

So much variety in climbing! Not just in the types of climbing (bouldering, lead, top rope) but there are loads of routes of all types available. Lots of space for hanging out if you need a break from climbing too. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Space is always clean and well kept. Lots of parking but it can definitely fill up if the shops nearby also get busy. Will definitely be coming back many times! read more

This is one of 2 rock climbing gyms on the Eastside. We have not been to the other one so not sure how it compares. This gym is pretty large with belaying areas and kids areas as well. It also has a workout area and an area to practice different grips. Once a week, they change the paths which keeps it always fresh, interesting and challenging. It always seems clean. The staff is just friendly enough. It would be nice if they cleaned the chalk off the rocks more often though rather than just hanging out at the counter/desk area. It would also be nice if there were some lockers in addition to the cubbies. They have added cubbies and a walkway to one side of the gym which makes it nice for spectator since it provides a place to sit. They have a ton of adult and youth programs throughout the year in addition to camps during the breaks. They do fill up quickly though so you have to be on top of it! read more

It's the best climbing gym in Bellevue. Has boulder and top rope big enough that never run things to climb. There's a weight room and climbing challenges at all difficulty levels so even beginners can find routes that they can have a fun time on. The membership price is but definitely worth it. read more

Great climbing gym, primarily for top rope. They're expanding to 45(?) foot walls, which scares the heck out of me. I decided I had to start learning how to climb because this gym is just too close to my house, so the value I would get if I could love climbing despite a fear of heights.... I took the intro to top rope climbing class and it was mostly about how to pass the belay exam. It was actually easier than I expected- we went over each part multiple times, had mental checklists to go through, etc. I was able to drop by and take the belay test without renting equipment for just the test (I was very afraid of failing the test and then having my climbing partner be disappointed that they can't climb), and I've gone three(?) times and I've made it to the top at last! The staff is very nice and supportive as well. Maybe one day I'll also try bouldering. Maybe. read more

First time at Edgeworks Climbing in Bellevue and it is super big! It looks like they recently expanded to have more belay climbing. Even though it's pretty spacious here, it was quite busy. Lots of people were there from all ages. read more

Do not buy a punch card pass here! They will disappear as after a certain amount of time as per gym policy. Not cool. Instead go to vertical world, SBP, or Momentum where they will honor their sold punch passes. read more

A big thank you to all the staff, but especially the manager Brad, at Edgeworks in Bellevue. They have been nothing but supportive for the Up Ending Parkinson's (UEP) climbing events we have hosted there. My husband and son have climbed here for years, and when I first approached Brad about becoming a location for UEP, he was all in. Despite his busy schedule, he helped us get this off the ground and was good about checking in with us the day of the events. All the staff have been friendly and encouraging to our PD climbers, and the climbers have had a wonderful time. The gym is large and clean and has tons of routes available for all abilities. We rent their gear (harnesses, shoes, carabiners, and belay devices) for our events, and we've had no issues. I also took the Intro to Rope Climbing class so I could take the belay certification test and belay at the UEP events. The instructor was excellent, and the class was very thorough. read more

My first time experience at this climbing facility was a lot of fun, the staff where really helpful when I arrived (I recommend filling out the waiver online before you get there to save yourself time), and helped set me up with a harness. Thankfully my friends are really skilled at climbing and where able to help recommend the shoes etc. (which the center provides for the less skilled, such as myself!), and they are both certified belayers which helped my confidence! There are a couple of different sections in the facility to climb, and for different skill levels. After going up a few beginner sections I felt very comfortable, perhaps because my friends were patient and I picked it up reasonably fast. It is an amazing workout! You could spend hours here. Overall it's a great activity and the facilities are clean, with a friendly atmosphere. Plenty parking outside too. read more

I came here to go bouldering for a couple of hours (visiting the area for work, so i was here right before 5 pm). They use their space well, and I think the boulders are graded really accurately. I think their route setters have fun and are creative when setting them. Their children's section looks so awesome as well. A few downsides, however - When you first walk in the place, stinks of BO and sweaty feet. When I said it was my first time there, I was directed to fill out the waiver, then pay $26 and some change for a day pass. After i paid, it was really awkward. The guy literally didn't say anything. Usually, when i say it's my first time at a gym, I get offered shoes/chalk bag (though I did bring my own), some kind of tour or even just a pointed finger to where everything was, but instead I paid and just silence. The place, overall, was not really clean. The bathrooms really needed some love. The holds were really caked in chalk, the floor was quite dirty and the crash pads were of a softer/fluffier material than I've usually seen - so chalk and sweat were imbedded in the fibers (I think between this and the lack of ventilation, it's causing the smell). If you can stand the smell, don't mind vigorously brushing every hand hold of every route, and take a shower as soon as you're done with the place- I think the routes are pretty awesome! read more

Nice climbing gym. Two bouldering areas and one area for rope climbing. They also have a great dedicated kids area. Bathrooms have lockers, and they have a yoga room where classsa are held. Wish there was one of these in south Seattle. read more

Easy to get to and tons of low/no stress parking vs. some other places in the city or in a more congested area. Took my daughter here for her first climb - she had a good time though it can get a little crowded here. Folks seem respectful however, and didn't see any dangerous activity. read more

This is a huge facility with super high ceilings. There is plenty of parking in the plaza which is nice. When you walk in you fill out a form and watch a three minute video on the guidelines. No one really greeted me when I walked in and walked me through the process. I kind of just followed my friends who had just gotten there a bit earlier than me. Getting through the process of filling the waiver and paying was not the smoothest. It costs $22 for an adult day pass and $6.75 for shoe rental. In total I paid about $31 and if you want you can also rent the belay device ($3.25), harness ($4.50), and chalk ($4.25). There are two bouldering areas with one area for rope climbing in the middle. I thought there was a different variety of routes that focused on different types of techniques, from using your feet to using your balance to move up and around. The routes themselves were not color coded (that kind of threw me off a little) but each route has a number attached to it. They start off with v0 which is the easiest and it goes up from there. I stayed around v0 to v2 which I think is a good range for beginners. There's a self-serve shelf of shoes (try saying that five times fast) where you can pick your size. They recommend you pick one size above your normal size which actually made a huge difference. The shoes didn't have as much grip as I'd like so standing on the smaller pegs was difficult and I slipped a decent amount. One of my more experienced climber friends said the same thing. There are cubbies in the front to put your stuff. However if you want to be more secure there are lockers in the back near the restrooms but you will need to bring your own lock. This probably wouldn't be my preferred place to climb but it was nice to try this place out to see what other climbing gyms have to offer. read more

This place is really nice! We were stopping through on a mini vacation from our children (lol) and decided it was a great day to go to the climbing gym. Their staff was great & really helpful & fun! Routes were all fun. Gym was super clean! Had a nice fitness center for after climbing. Bathrooms were also very clean. I wish we lived in the area so we could go more often! read more

Holy crap - this was such a tough workout...but had a blast! As soon as we walked in we saw the front desk where after telling the employee it was our first time here, she directed us to register at the computer on the other side of the desk and afterwards, watch a short training video on the iPad. It didn't take long to register where you fill out the waiver and watch the video. Once we were finished the employee then helped us get a day pass with shoe rental (about $30 per person with tax) and told us to get a pair of climbing shoes that was one to two sizes larger than our normal size. (I wear a size 8 and found that the size 9 shoes were a good fit for me.) Once we were ready to go one of the employees gave us a short orientation, telling us about the different colored rocks for bouldering and the right way to fall, to avoid injury. In order to belay, which are the high walls with the ropes, you have to take a course for that, so I only did bouldering here. And the bouldering is much tougher than it looks! The walls aren't too high yet it's still a workout, forcing you to use not only your upper body strength to find rocks to grab on to and pull yourself up, but also your lower body where you're trying to find rocks to step and climb up on. It's really a full body workout! All of the different colored rocks are set by different levels, starting from V0, going up to V1, V2, etc... I'm not sure what the most challenging boulder pattern was, but saw a V11 at one of the walls which went sideways! This was my first time bouldering, so mostly stuck to V0 and would say that it's definitely an appropriate level to start with. I did try some V1 and V2 levels, and noticed the difference in levels tremendously. Some of the V1 levels were super hard for me, especially when the walls weren't a flat surface. You'll easily break out in a sweat! There are two bouldering sections here and in the middle is the high walls for belaying. In the back is the children's section for bouldering, restrooms, water fountains and even a weight room. For your personal items, there are lockers in the bathroom but there are also cubbies by the reception desk where most people were storing their items. We came on a Wednesday night and the place was busy! It was actually cool to see so many members of Stone Gardens here, but it never felt cramped. I loved bouldering for the first time here despite the falls on some of my climbs (don't worry, it's a safe and cushy floor)! It was so fun though to see how high/far I could go and to challenge myself to go further! I would definitely go again and recommend this place for anyone who is at all interested in climbing. The friendly staff help navigate you if it's your first time and everyone's here, to have fun and get a great workout. See ya there! read more

Fantastic proBelay class for 4 people $80/ 1 hour session and each additional person was $10 more? It came to about $30/pp. Shoe rental included. Enthusiastic belayor instructor (forgot her name). She showed us options of what we could possibly do if we wanted to continue. There was also boulder in the next aisle. They are expanding so I'm excited to see what's next for this location. read more

If you like a clean place, go somewhere. My first impression was this place is dirty and smelly, and looks never been cleaned. The air, floor, chairs, shelves, the top of light fixtures, everywhere is filled with chalk powders. I wondered if any air vent was even working to clean the air and it wasn't. I couldn't put my jacket to the shelf because it gets chalks. I got allergic reaction to it and had light headage afterwards. I had been using Vertical World previously, but never had this kind of problems. read more

It was a blast. Took my daughter (5 years old) and her friend to climb and had a 1 hour belay instructor. The sessions includes rental of the shoes and harness. Just wear comfortable clothes (shorts, t-shirt, socks is all you need). The kids quickly overcame their fear of heights and with each climb was getting braver and more excited. Kyle was the staff member with us and he was very patient with the kids. I can't wait to book the kids birthday package here for the summer! read more

Been going since it was Stone Gardens. This used to be an awesome climbing gym. Staff was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The previous owner Keith really understood the climbers' ethos and respected the culture. It was a nice gym that was well taken care of. Sadly ever since it became Edgeworks this place is getting worse by the day. New owner only cares about profit. The new staff is a great example of what kind of people you hire when you pay them minimum wage. There're plenty of them congregating near the front desk but they all are just sitting around chitchating and joking among themselves. Most of them don't even know how to climb or barely know how, I don't understand how they can be trusted to give belay tests, belay customers, or with other safety issues. And when they actually have to deal with customers they are downright rude. I don't mean unfriendly or curt but actually brash and disrespectful like raising their voice and accusing customers of not checking in then shoving an ipad in their face to check their membership. Yeah the new fancy expansion just opened but it doesn't make up for the fact they do not hire decent people and train them properly. read more

I brought a guest to climb here using my membership perk and was denied because the guest had been here before within the last 30 days. The membership rules clearly state that we get 1 free guest pass per month. Nowhere does it ever state that the recipient can only use one pass per 30 day rolling window. Everyone I know including myself have had no issues bringing in guests in the past even if they've been there before using someone else's pass. The front desk also couldn't find any public documentation stating this rule. Yet the person at the front desk claimed it was corporate policy and required me to purchase a day pass instead. This is absurd. You can't enforce a policy that you've never communicated anywhere to your members. read more

The climbing facility was very nice, and was able to accommodate top rope and lead. However the climbing routes were catered towards a specific type of climber, and failed to use the features and textures of the wall to create fun and interesting routes. There were multiple cases where the routes seemed accurate for the grade and then they either failed to add feet or put up a hold that was 3 grades harder than the rest of the route. If you are a beginner or even intermediate, save your money and look for another climbing gym. The only reason this review was not a 1 star is due to the fact that I was unable to test out the top roping section. read more

As far as climbing gyms in a Seattle go, this is a great choice! There are lots problems of varying difficulty and as someone who goes 2x/week, the turnover rate is good. For bouldering, I would like to see more corner problems and problems that encourage slower, balance-focused movements. They use the V grading system here and compared to SBP, it is more challenging. A V2 at Stone Gardens can be the equivalent of a black problem at SBP. Some of the problems are unmarked, which is nice because it helps to clear mental limitations associated with a specific number. There's a decent gym area though it's geared more towards flexibility and strength rather than cardio. Hopefully the summer expansion will add some more space. Tip: If you want to avoid the crowds, go after 8:30pm on the weekdays read more

I have limited experience with indoor rock climbing gyms, but I'll say this one is pretty nice. It's a pretty straight-forward, no fuss climbing gym. They've got two areas dedicated to bouldering, one larger area for top roping and lead climbing, and a climbing area more suited for kids. Their bouldering areas are padded with mats that are thicc. Like, 3 feet mattress-like thiqq, so you don't have to worry about falling when climbing in these areas (although you should always be careful and fall properly). There's also a nice wall that allows you to top out and leads you to a simple down climb. One caveat: the top rope/lead climbing area can feel kind of crowded, even if the gym isn't packed with people. Belays seem to be kind of close to one another, so you definitely have to be in the practice of speaking and communicating loudly so others around you can heed your warnings when you're falling or lowering. As a belayer, it can get kind of tight on the floor dancing around the other belayers when you're trying to walk around so you can see your climber's moves or trying to get the rope of of their way, but again this is specific to when there's someone climbing on the problems directly adjacent to yours. This gym only has 3 auto-belays, which is kind of a bummer if you're like me and don't come with a friend who can belay you or isn't really the bouldering type. In terms of the routes themselves, they've got a good variety of difficulties and challenges. There's a board with a map of the gym that also has a chart of how many routes of each difficulty there are currently at that time (Ex: 5.8 - 2 routes; 5.9 - 4 routes; etc.). That being said, at the time that I went, there were only a few problems for "beginners" and all of the auto belay problems started at 5.9+. This gym also has a nice workout area with free weights and some cardio machines, and gendered changing/locker rooms with showers. The front desk also supplies towels, which is really nice. TL;DR - If you like bouldering, this place is pretty great. You like difficult problems, you'll love it here. Forgot your towel at home? This gym has you covered. Beginner looking to start off with something like a 5.7 problem? You might have to sneak over to the kids area to find that. read more

We love climbing at Stone Gardens, and have for years. We've been climbing here since they opened, and it's always been a blast. The best thing about the membership is that if you're going to be traveling, you can freeze your membership for $5/month, and then return to a normal membership when you're able to come back again. When my husband had an injury preventing him from climbing for 5 months, we were able to freeze his account without any hassle. There are 4 large bouldering walls and 2 large top rope walls. Routes are set constantly, with 2-3 sections getting reset each week. This keeps the routes fresh. There's also a great locker room area here, but many people just store their stuff in the cubbies in the front. read more

Ok, this place is pretty cool! This is the first time I've ever been rock climbing so really had no idea what I was in for. As I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly staff at the desk. They checked me in, I signed some waivers and watched a "how not to land on your neck" safety video. Ok, that's not really what the video was called. Lol Then I was instructed to go find some shoes. There is a wall of shoes with varying sizes. I couldn't figure out if it was in men's or women's sizes so basically I tried in a bunch of pairs. After making a mess on the floor by me, some friendly patrons helped me find my shoe size. These shoes aren't supposed to fit like normal shoes, rather they are supposed to be really snug. I guess I have rather big feet because all the sizes of shoes made my middle toes hurt, but I guess that's what supposed to happen. Then I was told that I'm not supposed to wear socks, and as I looked around, no one else was in socks either... I must have made a face while thinking of "everyone's toe jam soup" in my shoes because some nice lady looked at me and said, "in my own personal shoes, I don't wear socks, but in those, you bet I do!" So needless to say, socks on won! There was a class in the main section so we were told to "boulder". Huh?? I just followed everyone else. There were two sides to this "bouldering" and different varying difficulties to try ranging from V0-V6 which were all color coded as well. Not to mention it depended on how much of a tilt the wall had and if you were going inverted... Overall, I had a great time and learned I could climb like monkeys pretty well! ! I was also immediately shown that I am a weakling and have no upper body strength. Lol and a tip for the ladies, if you have long amazing nails, you are going to hate life! I just happen to have mine cut down because I broke a bunch, and I barely kept them from chipping. There are locker rooms to change in too and a small snack and water area for a quick break. Plus cubbie holes to store your stuff when you are acting like mountain goats . A great time to be had by all, can't wait to go back and try the middle section with someone belaying me up and down the wall! read more

I never thought I would ever go rock climbing, but I did. Let me tell you.. it's HARD! This place got me sweating, panting, and playing with white powder, rolling around on the mats.

By the great forearms of Hercules after a massive bro lifting pump action non stop cardio and power lift bro-work out this place is amazing. ._. (Little secret his forearms where actually normal size, but the rest of his body was huge and muscular which made his forearms stand out. ._. But I mean take my word for it. I'm a "historian" in Greek mythology. [AKA played God of War and now assumes to know everything about the Greek gods.) Let us commence this climb of a review! *wonder twins combine! Poodle jumps into the air with a ring on his paw while I jump to fist bump him with my ring!* Atmosphere: The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. With so many paths and challenging ways to improve your climb or even test you on your current level. I could happily say that this place is amazingly well layed out. With options for rock climbing in the center of this place, a children's section for kids to have a blast! (No longer will you have to have your child wait in the car while you boulder for hours and leave with your friends to a bar right after and come grab your car in the morning! Now have the luxury of leaving your child in the facility till morning!) A gym to work out those guns: AKA the only reason why you still have Samantha cuz she a gym rat but whatever. I ain't jelly. Only my stomach. ._. *cough* and cubby place where you can put your stuff in! (They do have a locker room and bathroom. No longer will you change outside and not notice that mormon family be scarred by your irresponsibility of not dressing in your house and driving to the place.) The bathrooms are decent but toilets I give them a 7/10. (My buttocks have sat in better places and yours deserve the best too!) Staff: Staff is friendly and welcoming. (Making you really debate on the friends you have and how they treat you, compare to these sweet people with amazing pointers, helpful knowledge and probably the best forearms Bellevue has come across.) Nothing ties my goat more in a knot than bad customer service but have the sweet pleasure of not worrying about that here. (Just make sure you sign that agreement of if you die terms before climbing and everything will be ok. [Just joking! But do practice safe climbing and be mindful of other climbers doing a course.]) Conclusion: Amazing place to start riding that sweet little pony (with the best forearms in the world.) Called bouldering. With great customer service and challenging climbs, I'm sure you'll reach Zeus level in no time. Highly recommend this place to you and your grandmothers shih tzu dog! ._. read more

This is a very nice facility. The size of this place is pretty big.... it has several bouldering areas (even one for kids) and regular climbing area. They also has a pretty nice gym... which is always empty when I was there. The staff is very nice and always attentive. They really care about the safety of their customers by providing extensive training and there is always a staff member walking around. The only thing I dislike about this place is that I could always smell B.O. =[ I would consider to join this gym. The location is great, it's quiet inside, and an awesome facility. read more

Went in today to climb with my two boys as we have done 6 times over the summer. They change the bouldering routes frequently, and always have a variety of easy ones for us. It's not very crowded, and is a typically pretty chill and very enjoyable. Today though our experience was different. The two employees at the counter really didn't want interact with customers at all. When I was finally able to ask for a refill of a punch card, she dismissively sent me off to an iPad to fill out paperwork I hald already filled out. Then I had to fill out another form with the same information. Which I had also already filled out. I asked if this was all really necessary since I had already done it, and she said rudely that I had to re-enter all that information every time. For every person in my party. How many times do you really think I want to enter my information on an iPad without automcomplete? Especially when all that data is already in your system. I gave up on the third time I had to enter my physical address (why do you even need that?!) - before I even got to the other pass holders. I came to climb not to enter forms on someone else's iPad. Next time I'll go to Vertical World/SBP if I want to climb or an Apple Store if I want to play with someone else's grimy iPad on a stand. This employee's behavior was enough for me to decide to take my business elsewhere despite actually liking the facility itself. read more

This place is so stinking cool! I've never been to a place that's all about rock climbing/bouldering. Although I've done traditional rock climbing with someone belaying me, bouldering (no harnesses) was a different experience. It's one thing to get to the top of the wall and quite another to figure out how to get your butt back down without falling. The one day pass with show rental was about $28, which I thought was a great price. For a first timer, your forearms won't allow you to go much longer than an hour. The walls were great for climbers of all different levels, with an added challenge of climbing up the wall only using like colored rocks. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

If you've ever been to SG Seattle, you know that SG Bellevue is far superior. This location is huge in comparison, with some seriously tall walls, large bouldering area, and fitness equipment in the back. SG Bellevue is comparable to Vertical World in that it's always pretty packed. Most evenings, you're waiting for ropes. Ratings seem a bit more consistent here. My only complaint is how close some of the ropes are and that some of the routes tend to bleed into one another. Overall, friendly and knowledgeable staff. read more

Seriously fantastic addition to the Bellevue. With 4 walls available for bouldering, there are so many options and routes to explore! And a nice assortment of lower level routes are great when coming here with friends with a range of experience - especially those just starting. The gym and locker rooms are pretty spiffy too. If I lived closer I'd switch my gym membership here because this would be easily the most fun way to stay in shape. It is a little pricey, but I can't say I've ever regretted coming here. p.s. they have free WiFi! read more

This place is decent. Not as many bouldering walls on the day that I went since there was a large portion that was closed off. I found the lower levels weren't super consistent as some v0s were really easy and other v0s were really hard. Other than that it was easy to sign up and get going. #protip: bring lotion! read more

Pandemic has made social interactions rare and difficult and people are all doing their best to normalize life. Our son and I started a Sunday climbing day with the boys 2 weeks ago and it's been amazing. Today, I got to witness our son climb a portion of the wall he tried 15 times without accomplishing his goal. Toward the end of our climb, he did it. He was shaking with nerves, excitement and complete pride when he reached the top and was greeted by his teary eyed dad. What goes up, must come down... getting down this wall was a challenge and our son (understandably) had trepidation. I was a bit at a loss... I went to the front desk and asked for some support on how to help get our son back down the intimidating wall. Cale (sp?) jumped immediately to assist with incredible grace, patience and understanding. He asked a few questions and then climbed like a gazelle to the top to our son to help save the day. Within :60, our 8 year old was trekking down the wall that had him paralyzed just moments before. Cale guided our son down safely to mat and the entire zone we were hiking in cheered in celebration for this brave boy's adventure. I will never forget this world class customer service, this world class kindness and the help by this crew. As a father you want what's best for your kids and you want to protect them and also see them accomplish things they couldn't imagine doing. Today, this establishment BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE made this happen. Eternally grateful. read more

The Climbing 101 class was very helpful and no pressure at all, especially for someone afraid of heights like me. The instructor I had was Vivianne and she was very patient. With the right music, the good adrenaline hits me and I feel motivated to climb here. There are two climbing walls, one of which can be angled with an employees assistance, some with auto belays, and lead climbing. There are four walls for bouldering, and a gym section. For those of you looking to stay long, there are also lockers in the restrooms. Rentals are cheap, but if you intend on going often, think about getting a membership. Absolutely child friendly and especially good for children's birthday parties. read more

Extremely annoyed that I signed up for a membership on the 26th of the month thinking that the membership wouldn't charge me again until a month passed, but instead they charged me again on the first of the month. No one explained how the membership would work or told me that I could wait 5 days and save myself 60$. Poorly explained how it all works. Since I went in that 5 day period they wouldn't refund me. So I essentially spent 60$ to climb twice. I could have bought a day pass or rather just waited until the start of a new month. read more

They recently upgraded their bouldering area, which I am not the biggest fan of but I do spend most of my climbing on top/lead. Route ratings are accurate although I wish they have more of a variety of grades, but it is a smaller space so I understand they have to work with what they have. Tacoma has a lot of lead opportunities, but not Bellevue. Just an FYI for those who love leading or are just starting out on lead. read more

The staff is very friendly and helpful for those who have never been here before. There are many different levels of difficulty in the bouldering areas which I really enjoyed. For those who have younger children there is even an area for them to climb and play in which I find as a perk. For about $25 you get shoes plus unlimited bouldering time. I will Definitely be returning to try the vertical belay which are located in the center of the facility! read more

SG has five sections: 1 wall climbing, 2 bouldering, 1 bouldering for kiddos, and a small gym in the corner. There are also locker rooms, a greeter's desk, and a wall of shoe rentals that you can help yourself to after checking in. Climbing routes are all color coded and labeled with signs detailing difficulty level and how long they've been up. Everything is clean and well maintained. Good music, too! I was very impressed by the sense of community here. Everyone is super engaged in their climbing and really enjoy themselves while doing it.

As far as safety goes, there were very few staff doing walk through's around the gym and I think that would've been so helpful for beginniners like me. read more
