    He is very knowledgeable and you can learn a lot from any conversation with him. He is particularly concerned with safety so you feel like you are in good hands and very secure when learning how to use equipment and climb. I've always felt safest with his instruction. He is also a kind person who does a lot for the community. He has allowed me to offer numerous fundraising events through the gym. I've been a part of others that he has put on.

    Amazing Gym! Great people and community! Kevin, Jen and Mike taught me most everything I know about climbing. I've used many of the services that gym provides and loved them all. I grew up there climbing after school when I went to ECHS, going to summer camp, having birthdays, participating in the youth group and learning to lead climb outdoors.

    ... They always had plenty of ropes set up at the cliffs so we were never board and they would take us to really beautiful locations and on really fun hikes. I remember they were great mentors all around too. Making sure everyone got along and no one was left out or hurtful to others.

    The staffs are really great and helpful.
    The paddings on the bottom are great even if you fall from a low ceiling.
    I haven't gone up to the high ceiling so I don't know about that one.
    You can go alone without a buddy to hold onto your rope.
    I forgot the wording but they have a hydraulic system thingy where if you let go, it brings you down slowly.

    Fun activity to do with your friends instead of sitting inside movie theaters.
