Rude staff. Ropes are in poor condition and need to be replaced. The staff flip flops on the rules of the facility. They let me climb all the previous times I went with friends including top roping. Recently when I went they would not let me climb unless I took the belay test. I asked them why the rules had changed, as previously I was able to climb without having to test and the only explanation they offered was "I dont have an answer." I failed the belay test. They would not let me climb which was understandable and no big deal, but they would not give me a refund for the equipment I rented or for the time I had paid to use their facility. Again when asked why their response was "I dont have an answer for you, I just cant." Overall poor experience. Would not recommend. Will not go again.

Very open and roomy gym that has never been crowded when I am there. The staff is young and overall pretty easy going and nice. The bouldering walls are awesome and have plenty of variety, they are also changed about every 3 weeks or so which gives you plenty of time to come back and get the route you were stuck on or get some new features if youve hit them all before. The top-rope walls are nice looking too although Ive never personally used them besides trying to boulder the horizontal stretch of the facility. Not really sure what sort of experience Devin^ had but I got as often as I can.

staff is young and friendly, rules are all fair and understandable. Price is cheap, and the facility is large with plenty of free climbing. Unless you have passed their test to belay, renting a harness (an extra fee) nets you access to a small handful of auto ropes. Youre honestly better off paying standard fees for the free climbing if youre not certified or you dont care for the novelty of climbing with ropes. Lots of fun - definitely would go again!

Great local gym, came to town to visit family and was really happy to get some climbing in. The setting is diverse in style and a wide range of difficulties. I found everyone I talked with to be incredibly friendly and helpful with beta. Definitely will come back every time Im in town.

I took a lead climb class tonight. I have to say the experience and level of teaching was amazing. Very hands on, they were patient and wanted to help and teach us how to be safe climbers. Thank you to raff and the metro rock team for a wonderful gym and great teachers.

I love that its fun for me and fun for my son. In a couple times per week to climb and for yoga. Theres a schedule they follow for resetting walls that always keeps it fresh, while still letting you work on a project for up to a month before a reset.

We had a few hours to kill before an airplane trip back home to Minnesota. My wife found this online. We spent 2 hours in there and had a great time. People are friendly lots of good obstacle. Id go there again.

Was way more fun than expected. The staff is very laid back and informative. Dont be intimidated was not as hard or technical as you may think. We are going back this weekend.
