This place is kind of like the dive bar of climbing gyms.

It has a good variety of bouldering, but-

-It uses tape to indicate the problem, which would take some getting used to. I struggled with this a little bit and needed to re-start my climb a few times because I couldn't tell where I was climbing. Some may not mind this or ever prefer it, but I did not like it.

-They appear to have down-climb handles, but they kind of just blend in. This is dangerous, in my opinion. Down-climb holds should be very easily identified, not just another color of a hold.

-Some of the boulder problems are 4 months old. That is unacceptable, in my opinion. That is way too long to keep a problem up.

-THE MATS. THE MATS STINK. The mats have a chemical-y smell to them that, frankly, smells like piss. My towel after my shower when I got home reeked, as did all of my clothes. I won't be coming back here for this reason alone. The gym has the same, slight odor to it, and it's nasty.

The ropes. This is not a rope gym, and the space dedicated to ropes is wasted. The rope walls are barely taller than the bouldering walls. The space would be better utilized for additional bouldering. Do not come to this gym wanting to do ropes, it will be a waste of your time. They do have some "lead" walls, but again, they are so short and are not worth your time.

The training equipment is fine, I guess. A little run down, but that goes with the "dive bar" vibe of the place. Limited weight selection, a single squat rack/ pull up bar. They do have campus boards and a tension board but no spray wall, kilter board, or moon board.

The signage for the place could be a little better as well. It took me an extra loop around the block to find the entrance, a sign out front on the main road pointing to the gym would go a long way.

The price for a day pass is 23 bucks, and a membership is 70. You will have access to all PRG gyms, so perhaps the other ones are better. In a world where Reach Climbing and Fitness is only a 20 minute drive down the road, I have a hard time justifying coming to PRG East Falls instead of Reach. At least you won't leave reeking of piss.

PRG East Falls is what it looks like in its pictures. Kind of a shitty, local bouldering gym that's part of the greater PRG chain. If you're interested in checking out climbing for the first time, sure, maybe this place is decent. If you're anything beyond a beginner climber, just go to Reach, it's worth the extra distance (take the region rail if you need to) and few extra bucks.
