Go here!!! Great staff & loads of classes to help you improve your technique. Auto belays are available on your solo days. Yoga classes are included with monthly membership, as well as discounted prices on technique classes offered. They even provide courses to help you transition from indoor to outdoor climbs. The community is great - you’re bound to make friends along the way. Can’t say enough good things. Check out The Spot!
Tons of great climbing routes for bouldering and top rope/lead climbing. The largest indoor wall I’ve seen. Very impressive. However, the staff have not been the most welcoming or helpful. My first experience was so bad I almost didn’t return, but I continued to return. The staff seemed better, but compared to every other climbing gym I have been to from CO, to SF, to LFK, this gym had the worst staff. As much as I love the numerous routes with a wide range of styles and difficulty, their bouldering rating system is the worst I’ve seen. They attempt to utilized their name The Spot and uses red spots to indicate the rating system, but the system is overly complicated and could easily be simplified by just using one red spot with the V rating labeled on the dot, instead of counting the red dots, seeing if there’s a line or a plus through them and then figure out what that indicated just put the V rating. I shouldn’t need a guide system to read the rating of the routes.
I really wanted to love this and leave a positive review, but... I've NEVER climbed before. Anywhere. And the intro classes are not at convenient times for me. I was hoping that the staff would at least take 5 minutes to show me the basics - for safety sake if nothing else. But nope! He was barely engaged while working to find me shoes that fit and I filled out the waiver. When I started asking about where to go, etc. cause I've never been here before, remember, he reluctantly got up, showed me the walls and kinda not really explained the dot system...which still doesn't really make sense to me since I didn't even see dots on many of the routes. He pointed in the direction of the bathroom and lockers as well as said what is upstairs, but never bothered to walk me around or anything. Honestly, I get better service at the grocery store!! Very disappointed...Might be different at one of their other locations, but I'm reluctant to even try at this point...and certainly not feeling like I want to shell out money for private instruction. Also, while I was there, there were ZERO other females. It was very uncomfortable and did not feel women-friendly at all! They need better staff and more intro class times throughout the day and week. If you know what you're doing and don't care about service, it might be fine...
Great climbing gym with top rope, bouldering and even a kids section. Was a solid discount on Friday which was great. Friendly staff with good amenities. Lots of climbing space for all skill levels and ages. Highly recommended.
I’ve been climbing here for almost a year and I love a lot of things about this gym, but the number of kids programs that happen during peak hours is becoming an issue. I was hoping to get an endurance workout on an auto belay the other day, but they were all in use by kids in one of the gym’s climbing clubs. There were two staff members with the kids, but instead of actually belaying them, they just let the kids dominate the auto belays. The gym has two dedicated spaces for kids, one upstairs and one downstairs. There are tons of open autobelays upstairs with child friendly routes. Please sequester kids to these areas when it’s busy in the gym.
The $50 membership initiation fee that’s not listed anywhere on the website was an unwelcome surprise. Bouldering was a bit disappointing- the walls were pretty sparse so there weren’t a lot of climbs, and many of them lacked ratings. Top rope was good, walls are much taller than the gyms in boulder, and lots of autobelays.
In response to the owner: looks like Google maps doesn’t allow me to reply directly to your reply so I hope you get this! I’m providing feedback on your routesetting. I gave this gym one star because the route setting is subpar, so much to the point that I cancelled my membership been climbing indoors for 11 years now and am a routesetter myself. The owner asked for feedback to give to the routesetters: - the routes don’t have good flow - there is not consistent difficulty throughout each individual route. A v1 could start with jugs for the first few moves then suddenly you’re asking the climber to depend all their weight on a sideways pinch. You throw moves at grades that butcher the flow and confuse the overall grade - the uneven setting kills the rhythm of the climb, with some rocks seemingly turned the wrong way that makes the climb awkward. A v8 I was projecting tried to utilize a crimp that’s meant for a slab wall on an overhang, with no larger footholds to center your gravity on - there’s a difference between challenging and awkward. Not to mention lack of footholds at locations that would make sense… there were footholds but at the wrong areas. It wasn’t a challenge of trying to figure out where my center of gravity should go, the footholds were just placed so incorrectly that the problems turned awkward. I understand that climbing outdoors is very awkward too, but indoor gyms are supposed to be a place that fosters a passion for rock climbing for beginners and offers a place to train for the rest. Routesetting is crucial to your gym and ultimately what made the original spot climbing gym so successful. I hope this gym steps up its game, and has a checking system for its routesetters. I would recommend bringing in route setters from other successful gyms and having them pass on their knowledge. Maybe have them climb your routes and provide their feedback in real time. If routesetters just do what they like with their climbs and do not receive feedback and improve on it, your gym will struggle to retain its climbers, like it did with me.
I don't understand any of the negative reviews. I think most of them were outdated, because the routes all feel amazing and I have made geniune friends with some staff, they are all amazing people. Never had a bad experience here and I've been going for circa six months.
So good I came back and got a membership! They have a fairly robust Boulder area, many top rope and lead climb, plus a few auto belay. The upstairs gym area is phenomenal. Everything is clean obviously chalk dust is everywhere and tidy, people are chill and staff are friendly. They play decent music as well, think Spotify-top 40-poptronic.
LOVE the climbing in this DIVERSE GYM, but they NEVER CLEAN. I've been a member for years now. Very well constructed with a VARIETY OF WALLS, slabs, overhangs, arête, chimney, and crack. Primarily set for TOP ROPING and bolted for LEAD CLIMBING, with additional large BOULDERING area, kids climbing, and FITNESS/TRAINING room. NEW ROUTES are continually being set and they're Grade-A. The front desk staff are always cool and friendly. The only trouble is that THE PLACE IS ALWAYS DIRTY and they haven't vacuumed or mopped the floors in literally many months. I thought that after the Covid-19 shutdown things might change, but since I returned in July now December I don't think they've cleaned the place. Sent e-mails to corporate with no reply. Left too many comment cards. Talked directly to staff and nothing has changed management doesn't seem to come around much anymore, and removed their contact info from the website. It stinks seeing old Band-Aids and balls of hair on the floor and the clouds of chalk in the air. I'm continually surprised, considering they charge $20+ a day for visitors and $70+/month for members. You might think they'd care more about health and wellbeing during a global pandemic, but alas.
