We've climbed here a few times now. I used to climb all the time before we had kids and I am slowly getting back into it. JB is super helpful and encouraging. My youngest is basically a mountain goat in human form and really enjoys both bouldering and autobelaying.

Great place to rock climb, they have auto belaying, bouldering, and then regular belaying with skill levels from easy to insane! Very fun and the staff are always super nice when I go!
