My teenage son loves this place. Nice to hangout and watch him climb. He likes the community and encouragement he finds here. Only negative is the amount of chalk dust in the air.

The staff are very warm and welcoming. The place is kept reasonably clean (they can get crowded and busy, but staff tries their best to keep up).
