Rad Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Can someone who's been comment on this gym? I'm planning to be up there next week and was hoping to get a bouldering workout and belay the kids for a few hours at some point. Is it good enough for that?

Jens Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Not a bad place to boulder for an hour after a day of skiing. It is really small though and the roped climbing is really tiny. Nice people working the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Went today. I generally agree with Jens, but here are two additional thoughts: 1 - this gym is actually quite good for young kids as the roped areas have lots of holds fairly closely spaced. Kids had lots of fun, anyway. Roped routes are about 20ft tall, so length is not their strong suit. 2 - I went back in the evening for my bouldering workout. Yikes! I've never been to a more sandbagged gym, and I've been to a fair number. Example: long lock-off on a sloper to reach a crimp sidepull, high step and reach to sloper at full extension, put foot on hold that feels too low and dyno/campus for another crimp as feet cut off...on V2! I'm 6' with a +3 ape index, and I felt short in this gym. Every V1 and up had at least one dynamic move or super long static move. Injury potential is high. But the staff are definitely friendly.
