So much cheaper than the climbing gyms I'm used to in CA! But also a lot smaller, a looot smaller! The top rope walls are about half as high and you have to go thru a belaying lesson before they even let you use their ropes (which is weird because almost every rope I saw had a grigri). One of my friends was new to climbing and we said we would show her how to belay and they said it wasn't allowed to even teach her in their facility unless we're actual climbing instructors. I'm sure it's just one of their safety policies but I have never been to a gym like that. Sooo we were limited to only bouldering, not a big deal, but it would have been nice to know that beforehand. But anywho, the routes were pretty fun and the crowd was friendly. I went back a few times during my stay in Wisconsin and even met a few new friends. Would def go back on my next trip to Madison!
