Of all the gyms I have been to this is definitely in my top three. As you would expect the staff is pretty laid back, but also very professional for a rock gym. The place is kept clean and the climbing community is second to none, the reason I have a membership here! The top roping is my favorite and there are a good variety of wall types from slab to overhang. There is also plenty of bouldering is that's your thing and also a good amount of lead too! I would highly recommend this gym.

Been to Central rock, BKB, Metro rock, and Boston rock. Besides Central Rock, I've been to the other three at least 15 times. I chose Metro rock to be my primary gym because:
Price - Metro Rock is on the cheaper side and it offers a ton of options, ie. student discount, 10 pass pack, ladies night, etc.
Route - Routes are interesting and fun; they get updated every 1 or 2 months.
Parking - I've always been able to find parking on their lot. Most of the time I'm in the back because this place is quite popular.
Staff - Very friendly and helpful.
Rooms for improvement:
Host less events because it does get crowded.
Cleanness - It could be cleaner.

Really nice Rock climbing gym. It's a bit of a trek to get out here but once you do you're reared with some excellent climbing.
The routes are well designed and the"real" rock face is nice for smearing.
My only complaint is that as a boulderer I think I'd run out of routes after a session or two, but for a drop in, it's great.

Clean, organized, and they have something for everyone. I like how this place is organized and caters to a wide range of ages and skill levels. I visited for the first time and was greeted by two sweet doggies, filled out a waiver, rented a harness, and got a 5 min tutorial and was on my way to climbing for the first time.
The auto baley device is very safe and also fun to use. Sometimes there is a line but not one that is unbearable. There are also plenty of shorter walls for climbing, without baleys but with giant red mats to catch your fall.
It is a great form of exercise but I have a newfound appreciation for climbers (especially those who can climb in an inverted position!). I am sore in places I did not know existed!

Cool joint. Lots of routes. So grateful that the stones are color coordinated. That's too rare. Very fair pricing and great staff.
