This is my home gym. It’s small but the community is awesome. I have been climbing here for years and have met a ton of good friends here over that time. Come hang! This gym is tiny but has a ton of heart and lots of challenging climbs.

Awesome gym, employees are very friendly, really has a community feel. The setting there is actually pretty creative given the space constraints. The staff is really friendly and talkative, which was great for someone who was just visiting the city for work.
