Very impressed with the facilities. As someone that mainly sends V1s and some V2s, there were more than enough climbs for me. Spacious and clean space. I was visiting from out of town and came twice during my trip to Anchorage.

I have taken kiddos here multiple times now and they have a great time getting a good workout in, burning off some energy, and enjoying music while they do it. Staff is friendly and eager to assist. Facilities are clean and generally the crowd is laid back. I would recommend calling ahead on weekends if taking littles to make sure you don't overlap a birthday party. They section off some of the easier auto belay climbs for those. Rental shoes and harnesses are available, clean, and in great condition.

Stopped in on a quick visit to Anchorage. This gym has some great, tall, top rope walls as well as a sizable bouldering area. I found the bouldering grades to be pretty much spot on with comfortable floor to crash on. The staff was helpful and respectful through the orientation. At $23 for a day pass it is worth a visit.
