Great experience so far! We signed up for a discounted summer pass and love the space, the employees, and the whole vibe at Whetstone. Seeing my seven-year-old climb up high and push herself has been such a sweet experience.

I've been a member at this gym for a year and a half, and it's been my favorite gym I've climbed at. The setting is great, great variety of boulder terrain, tons of top rope (though not the highest walls in town), great community and events - proud to call Whetstone my home gym!

Better than Ascent! This is a standard gym with all the training stuff you need including training boards. I was there for just a few hours, but they emphasized community much more than Ascent.
