Such a cool climbing gym, I was surprised to see that Alex Honald had signed a picture of him on El Cap, and also set a climb in the gym. Highly recommend. Oh and the staff were lovely.

The gym is quite nice, big, and pretty. However the staff treated us rudely. I have memberships and I tried to visit all the sites as many as possible. I came here twice and I felt discriminated twice. The only reason I may think of is being Asian. She didn’t treat others like this. I felt really disappointed and it totally ruined my climbing experience.

Great experience climbing here, quite low on V2-V3 routes as of the January set, but it changes often and it's fun to come back to if just for exploring the new boulders.

Great gym! The pit in the middle is such a fun concept. It's full of hard climbs for you and your buds to project!

Such a good climbing gym. Made 2 new friends. Great sets. Good warm up zone/training area. You can see almost the whole gym from any single point. Staff are really nice.
