I’ve been climbing here for about two years now, mostly as a rope climber, and it’s easily one of my favorite gyms. The walls are refreshed often, and the routes are clean, thoughtful, and flow really well. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, and the community is awesome, I’ve made a lot of great friends here. Highly recommend.

Great facilities, location, and staff! Lost of top rope, lead climbing, and bouldering. Nice kids area with auto-belay (a few in the main area too). Did use the gym equipment or classes, but this is a great all around fitness location with very reasonable pricing.

I love this gym. Great setting and a wide variety of routes for all levels. General atmosphere is low key compared to many of the gyms in Denver. Excellent spot.

Excellent climbing gym! There's a "shorter" kids climbing area that's amazing for warm up and kids that don't have as much endurance. Fantastic place for birthday parties and really reasonably priced (as climbing gyms go)!

They have some of the best routesetting in the country. There are strong climbers at this gym, especially the youth. The head setter has well over a decade of experience, and has a great team. The boulders were most impressive to me, as every style was represented. Coordination dynos and bicycle beta were artfully created. Their use of volumes was above average. It was clear whoever set and foreran the V8's, 9's, and 10's were more than capable to send. The higher grades got progressively more technical without estranging smaller or non-superhuman climbers. Both boulders and roped routes seemed projectable if they were not flashable. The climbs were interesting enough for me to want to return to finish them. The addicting nature of the good quality setting is what I loved most about this gym. The facility is quite bougie. The staff and their friends make a nice atmosphere. There is a physical therapy clinic inside the gym. There is a very nice weight room with everything climbers would need. They have rings and good pull up bars. Upstairs there is a proper training area with two training boards, and a free hanging properly pitched campus boards and every hang board attachment you could want. There are yoga mats and all the calisthenics accoutrement. There are plenty of top quality brushes in the bouldering area. The bouldering mats are a little hard for my liking. I was having trouble committing at the top of the wall because the fall was quite hard, but not unsafe. The bouldering uses a V scale, and is pretty consistent. Overall the grading at this gym seems a bit soft to outdoors, and consistent with other gyms. The lead wall is truly epic, there is overhang represented up to "5.14d" which I'm not sure I can believe, but hard climbs are so hard to find, anything over 12d is greatly appreciated. The gym walls have a lot of friction. They have an increble selection of some of the newest holds on the market, many of which I have never seen before. The only negative thing about this gym was they have harsh financial rules. A day pass is $25, they offer no first time discounts or free day passes. There is an initiation fee, which is a pretty outdated concept at this point. Month to month members do not get day passes, and have other restricted benefits which seems super weird. There is not a trial membership. The bathrooms are always perfectly clean, however, the paper towels were often out and the shower curtain was a bit cheap. Other than that the accomodations were too notch. Generally the rates are high, however the facility is well equiped and very beautiful, the quality of the setting is outstanding, so there is a high value represented. One of the best gyms in America.
