The original owners put together an amazing gym. Huge bouldering area upstairs, with a unique bouldering cave area that connects upstairs with downstairs. Very small area for storing shoes and bags but that is symptomatic of the majority of gyms in Phoenix.
Since the new management took over this place seems neglected. While the routes seem decent and varied skill wise, the general feeling when bouldering was 'wow, this place is really, really neglected.'
Would it be so hard to clean the place? The floors and padding are in serious states of disrepair and neglect. The felt flooring is worn out, dirty and seems like it needs to be vacuumed and/replaced.
The bathroom was very smelly, like a sewer gas smell.
Ropes in toprope section seem to be pretty worn. Wouldn't you want newish ropes if you are dealing with a lot of first timers (who tend to take a lot)? Wouldn't you want to patch any holes (that once held anchors for belayers) that are in the belay area? Seems hazardous, combined with the untaped seams between flooring, to have no anchors for the first time climbers?
The couches upstairs are disgusting.
Management might want to clean the place inside and out, replace the flooring, and you might find some new clientele. This place had all the ingredients to be amazing and still could be..
