| - I've been going to this gym for about three weeks now, as a total beginner. So far, I am LOVING IT.
The staff is super enthusiastic and helpful, and the other climbers seem quite nice as well. Actually, they mostly stick to themselves, which works for me. There is a good variety of easy to difficult problems, and it's easy to go again and again without getting bored or frustrated (or maybe it's just a beginner's high?) Apparently, they also change things every 6 weeks, so you get the chance to really work on a problem, hopefully complete it, and a new one will pop up. One of the walls tops out into a slide, which is great if you are super tired by the time you get to the top.
The change room is small, but that hasn't been an issue yet. They just started yoga classes, which are a great thing to have when climbing.
Prices are good for people just trying it out, especially the beginner deal that includes 2 weeks of unlimited visits, an orientation, a lesson and shoe rental for one day ($5.50, normally) at $39. After that, the membership costs are like those of a very nice gym, roughly $50 per month.
So far, my cousin and I have been hitting this place about twice a week and we're loving the challenge and great atmosphere.
