First time attending here might be a bit intimidating, but this place is awesome.

U like some places, like trampoline parks with a limited pathing. This place has everything.

The belay systems are key for beginners. It allows u to climb high and get used to climbing which as a beginner u need. You can get tired, YOU WILL GET TIRED, and u can let go.

There are more advanced systems that require a skills check and a partner to simulate more realistic climbing.

Best part are day passes unlike alot of places unless it's the early day pass. Day pass gets u in till close so u can leave and come back which is awesome. There's also memberships just like a real gym.

Honestly I think this is better than a traditional gym. My forearms were swollen from the first real stress they were put through. I also feel it's more rewarding bc trust me some of the climbs are difficult.

Day passes are 16$ and 14$ for military, 1st responders, students, and police. U can rent a harness and shoes for 5$ and bring your own. There's also a mini gym to get a bit of variance for "members only".

Id generally consider switching from anytime but being an hr away unfortunately prob not realistic.

This location also has its own gym dogs. Id HIGHLY recommend bringing anyone over 9 for the...

The facility was amazing and looked liked a place I would be returning even though I live 2 hours away. They have close to 40 climbing stations of which 6 are self rappelling. I was surprised to see the non-self rappelling ropes did not have a carabiner for the climber to attach like the belay mechanism. I was told by staff you had to have a class and pass a test on tying the particular type of knot before allowed to climb at the non-self rappelling stations, and they were not doing testing that day. Needless to say my group spent two hours at the 6 stations along with every other climbers in the building. NO ONE was using the other stations because of the rope tie requirement. A simple solution is to just attach a carabiner on the rope so people can easily use this great indoor climbing place. I asked the staff why there was no carabiner attached, they said for safety reasons (??) but said they do when there a birthday party (???). If they make a policy change, I hope I find out because I would love to make it a regular weekend trip. AGAIN I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIS, NO OTHER CLIMBERS FOR 2 HOURS USED THE OTHER...
