I climbed at this gym a little over a year ago, and I was bemused that most of the routes did not change. The standard for professional climbing bossiness, is to change the routes out monthly, clean the holds to add variety and challenges to its members. What did change is that there are now dogs being boarded there, which I find a little disturbing. Some dogs are running in the climbing area, and some are behind barriers barking and whining for attention. I like dogs, but it is really a distraction. Lots of these dog barriers are in the climbing area, that force you to be cognizant when you get lowered from the top. I think the gym owner is more focused on making this business a dog boarding shelter than a business for climbing.

Pedestrian quality routes, none methodical route setting, and most of the routes have not been changed in years. No maintenance on the routes such as tightening the holds, replacing tape, or cleaning the holds. Belay devices have anti-theft wire, which have sharp ends, may need your shots updated. Dogs are now being boarded there, and not all dogs are not segregated from the climbers. One dog was chewing on the climbing rope. Had so much potential, but what a waste.

Minimal instruction and poor supervision. Only one employee on premises too busy to assist, plus he went outside to talk on phone leaving customers dangling unsupervised. It makes me wonder if they bother checking maintenance on their equipment.
awesome gym!
