Great place! First timers have plenty of opportunity to learn and experience in a welcoming environment.

This is by far the best climbing gym I have ever climbed at. Some of the best people I have ever met. The staff is awesome, very friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable. You can always find a great conversation or a random story. This gym has been open for a long time and they know how to do things right. They have really awesome climbing competitions twice a year and anyone can climb in them no matter their style or skill level. If you want to go climbing at a good gym, I would recommend Ozark. read more

A great, hole-in-the wall find! Been climbing here since 2016 when I was first introduced to bouldering. It's bouldering only and quite small, but they're updating routes frequently and use the space in a very efficient way. The fact that it's affordable to the average income is a huge selling point for me! Their pricing is much more reasonable than most other gyms I've climbed at which I've seen at minimums of $60+ a month. I do wish that they used the traditional V-scale for their rating system as opposed to the colored tape. It makes it difficult to determine which level you'd be on if you were at any other gym or outdoor climbing because each color in their rating system covers a range of V-scale levels. They don't open until 2PM each day which makes it difficult if you prefer getting your climb in before work. If you can go when they open in the afternoons, I would highly recommend it -- I say this because with how small the space is, it gets crowded very quickly by the time evening comes around. All that aside, I spent several years as a member here and still come to climb quite frequently. Overall, a fun place to climb and for introducing people to the sport! read more

OCG is a neat, little gym that has a lot of great routes for climbers of all skill levels. The routes and equipment (e.g. weights and hangboards) are great for both training and just having fun. The staff are welcoming and friendly to all, whether you're just there visiting for the day or you're a regular. With all the aforementioned positives, the number one plus, however, is the community - always supportive and welcoming :) read more

Great place to go and train! Never a lot of people there (unless you go at night and even still hardly anyone there) and they provide free chalk that is actually decent quality chalk and not those stupid chalk pouches. Also since the place is a local gem the owner is often there so if you want beta (help with how a route should be climbed) you can get it pretty easily. read more

Top notch! This is another review that's best considered in comparison with other gyms I've gone to, but this spot is very impressive. It's small, size-wise it's likely about the same size as the Wall in Russellville, but they're Bouldering-only, which makes much more efficient use of the space. Their floors are fully matted, with mobile crash pads as needed. I was very quickly impressed with this one. All of the Climbing Gyms I've been to in Arkansas are small, with this one likely close to tied for smallest. But, this is the only one that addresses all of the needs I've been looking for. Here are the bullet points: PROS: - Wide variety of wall faces, with several overhangs and transitions from one angle to another. There is also some flat slab, but it's way in the minority - The walls are top-notch, textured and painted - Tremendous route density, there's very little wasted space on the walls - Good flow, with walls facing various directions and great use of surface area to get the most usable space, helps a lot with crowding. - Some Routes have color-coded holds as well as tape - There are top-out routes on multiple walls, all leading to a small upstairs area - Rating system encourages trying tougher routes (see below) - Fun regulars, chipper and friendly - Warehouse door that can be opened on nice days CONS: - Their rating system is unique, with difficulties determined by color. But, it doesn't match the V system that everywhere else I know uses. It also uses arbitrary shades. While White is easiest and Black is the hardest, everything in between is shades of green, blue, red, and purple. But every level has a light and a dark shade. On the plus side, it made me try routes I probably would avoid if I could see the rating ahead of time. On the downside, it's confusing and seems arbitrary. - Because of the Rating System, a lot of routes have to have the same color tape, and because of the density of routes, they also often overlap. A lot of the time the difference between to routes that cross each other is a yellow circle vs. a yellow dash, and mid-route it's very easy to mix them up. - Worst gym music ever. It was mildly-electronic smooth jazz, gross :P - It's still small. They've handled the space remarkably well, but on busy days it's still going to get very crowded, very quickly. - The routes I tried were, for the most part, not especially interesting. A lot of straight ladder-climbing, a lot of tough holds, but this one rates the worst of the three I've tried in Arkansas for complexity (if not difficulty) Still, on balance, this is an amazing Bouldering gym, and is one I would happily become a regular at. read more

The rock walls are fun, and they take safety seriously, making you sign a waiver and covering the floor with pads in case you fall. However, I had felt that the rock-climbing instructor was a little unprofessional. He didn't really answer a lot of my questions, made kind of a rude comment when I struggled to climb the wall, and when I asked him to show me how to climb a certain part of the wall, he didn't do so well and admitted to me that he was hungover, something I do not thing is very professional to say to your customers. The experience was fun though, I overall had a great time trying out the rock walls. Could have been a little bit better though. read more
