In all fairness and in the interest of full disclosure, I am not a climber. I am reviewing this strictly from a bytander's viewpoint, i.e. if you were a soccer mom bringing your kids to this place. Came in to observe the boyfriend and another friend climb. The staff is friendly and seem to know what they are doing. If you had kids I'm not sure how the supervision would really be. They are nice to provide at least some chairs for folks who are not climbing. The place is clean enough, although like all rock gyms I'm sure, it smells like boy sweat and exercise. A combination I'm not particularly fond of. Went on a Tuesday and it was busy. This seems to be a very popular spot. There are a ton of walls and each wall has varying degrees of difficulty which is good for climbers of all levels. The best part for me at least is that it is next to Republic Ramen and a Karaoke bar. Perfect if you aren't doing the climbing :)
