  This is a 1-star gym for the following reasons: - very limited lead / top-rope section - wooden walls - greasy holds - lack of natural light - overpriced day pass ($30 !!) - still using tape instead of hold color to mark routes - no showers available - poor ventilation (other gyms have better hvac systems)

  One of my favorite climbing gyms in NYC. It's really the original bouldering gym in NYC, though they've updated the walls recently and it looks more sleek and modern. It's usually pretty crowded after work and on the weekends, but if you get there early (or stay late) you can have some really great sessions. Friendly people and challenging routes keep you coming back!

  BEWARE This establishment is filled with children all day everyday. You will not get any time for a proper climb unless you show up when they open at 7am, and even then some days you’ll have little kids and babies running around. To make matters worse, the business is quick to lock you into a membership, but you must notify them a month in advance if you plan to cancel because they will not refund any portion which you’ve already paid. This is quite pathetic for such an expensive membership for a facility that is so poorly maintained.. just step into their bathroom once and you’ll wish you hadn’t spent luxury spa prices on a subprime joint.

  Absolutely lovely bouldering place! Spent the afternoon there and everyone was friendly. The bouldering areas are decently sized, and even though the routes are relatively densely packed, I did not find the walls too clogged with holds. One small criticism I would make compared to other bouldering places are the way routes are marked by hold color and tag color, with the V grade of the route being completely independent of the route’s color. This was slightly confusing as I am used to having all routes of the same color correspond to a single grade. One of my greatest disappointment was that I could not meet the famous ‘cock of the north’ the previous review talks about. Maybe next time...

  Sloppy staff on reception. One came prancing in like "cock of the North" clearly by the smell of him as high as a kite on dope. No locks for lockers as they'd "run out". How many lockers do you have? Err ...that's how many locks you'll need then Sherlock! Even more disconcerting was the sign in the locker room informing you of thefts. The holds were dirty and clearly the routes hadn't been reset for years and the route setting lacked imagination. Tapes falling off the bouldering routes so you often had no idea where the route went. The whole place is poorly maintained, expensive and dirty. I climb alot, and have visited walls around the world when I travel. I'm also a share holder in a climbing wall in the UK and have been involved in the constriction of two walls so I think I'm reasonably well qualified to comment...avoid this place..it's a dump.
