I was unsure about checking this place out after reading the reviews first. Yeah, the lighting isn't great. Yeah, some of the holds are older. But the route setting has been pretty good, and it's nice that the gym is so low-key and hasn't been busy either night I've been this week (climbing from about 5:30-7:30pm, which are prime time hours at any other gym). Gym climbing can be such a 'scene' these days (especially living near Boulder and all it's pro athletes) and this place doesn't have that vibe.

Cool spot. Especially nice for lead climbing and top rope. Gym was pretty much all to ourselves on a Sunday morning. The weights section was quite large and had a heavy bag. The staff were also very nice.

All staff very friendly and have done amazing work encouraging my son. We did the two week trial of all locations and decided to just stay with the Thornton location moving forward we liked it so much. We both were able to get top rope approved as well I’m under a week from starting.

I feel like this one is just kind of ditched. A few of the ropes are too short to even tie into?! And the routes never get updated. The front desk is amazing though. I just think the routes and ropes need to get updated . Still giving a 5 star because I still love this gym

This is my local The Spot. Smaller than others; yet very good facilities, plenty of bouldering, pleasant staff. One star off for their reduced summer hours though. No climbing before work 😕
