Richard is super nice. Tons of routes and new ones added weekly. Great bouldering too. Reasonable prices. Only downside is that there aren’t any auto-belays... bring a friend!

I’m an experienced climber, visiting Pheonix for business. I decided to visit this gym since it was the closest to my accommodation. I made a terrible mistake. The routes feel like they were set years ago. Half of the tape if missing and the moves make no sense and have zero flow. The owner doesn’t appear to be a climber and has zero business running a climbing gym. It’s also super empty and I’m the only person in here. I’m still here as I’m writing this... I feel like I should ask for my 14 back. Based the the comments I’ve read, it sounds like this gym used to be good, and had a lot of regulars until the ownership changed.
I like the gym because its quiet, empty and has a ton of great climbing routes. I dislike it because its run down. The mats are tore up and its very dark and dirty. The AC sucks, which is a must in Arizona! If the owners would invest some money in the place, it could easily be the best climbing gym in the valley!
Best gym in Arizona, staff is very nice and really cool bouldering and great top rope
The new routes are awesome and challenging! Way to go, the bouldering problems are updated with very cool routes
I just moved to the valley, I've been looking for a nice climbing gym. I was spoiled and had three different huge gyms to chose from max 20 minutes away in Utah. But I've been to a couple. I read the reviews and went in with a realistic idea. Honestly 14 for a day pass isn't bad at all most places it's 20. I didn't get on any routes this go, and I'm not really sure I would with the state that this gym is in. Floors are really pretty bad. There are a fair amount of large pads you can move around if you are worried about the area you are climbing in. So you can work around it. Honestly there were some fun climbs here. The were also some that felt like they weren't really fully thought out. The holds are pretty old. Some are creaking or shifting slightly. I'm on the lower end of an intermediate climber which I feel a lot of the boulders were geared to that kind of skill level. If you're a good climber you probably wouldn't be able to spend too much time here before you knocked most things out. The real gems here are the walls!! They do not make walls like this they have incredible features and texture. The person who built this gym and planned the walls was amazing! This place has so so much potential to be a top notch climbing gym it's unreal. Like I just stood there and imagined it when it was in it's prime I would have lived at this place. The super cave could have some of the coolest problems in it. The building is there, the walls are there. Someone needs to take this gym off the current owners hands and pump some money into it and it would be one of the best gyms I've ever been to. I recently read an article listing the "top 10" climbing gyms in the states. I've been to three on the list, if this place got updated and taken care of it would have more fun climbing than any of those three gyms. I'm not mad at the money I spent here for a few hours of bouldering. I'll probably even go back it's just so sad to see something so brilliant be so run down
It's a good place to climb and has some good routes, but it's pretty dirty and gross. If it was cleaned it would be a much better place to climb. If you are grossed out by dirty places do not go here.
Lots of fun, challenging for all skill levels. I haven't gone in quite some time, so I was pleased by the amount of levels I could choose from to make my time easier. I chose to boulder without gear. The falling was a bit scary at first, but the cushions helped alleviate my fears. The price was comparable to a drop in fee, only 20 for shoe rental and climbing for however long I wanted. We stayed 3 hours and I had an awesome workout! Will definitely come back
