This place always leaves me frustrated. Clearly it's run by very nice, well-meaning people, but the routesetting is routinely terrible and puts way too much emphasis on brute upper body strength, even for V1 routes. For some reason the walls are painted with latex paint, which is as slippery as linoleum. A lot of gyms I've been to have either bare wood or cover their walls with something grippy--I've never been to a gym that seems intent on preventing climbers from smearing effectively. Climbing grades are inconsistent, and in the couple years I've been going there they've changed their grading scheme at least three times. Most of the better gyms also have notes on who set the route, which Urbana Boulders does not do. Problems stay up for over a month, and the holds seem under-washed as a result.
