I took a technique class with Holly. It was a great experience! She is wonderful, making things a good balance of fun and challenging. Before we got started, she took the time to ask what I needed help with. I feel like my climbing has already improved.

This is a great place to climb with an amazing community. Upper Limits and Holly rock!

My son had a blast at the spring break camp. We also enjoyed our day pass. The routes were varied enough to provide challenge while also having easier options for beginners.

Wonderful people and extremely helpful as well as knowledgeable! The classes are amazing and a lot of fun! If you've never climbed before but wanted to give it a try you should definitely start here. The teachers are great and so are the members!

I love the community at Upper Limits and have really enjoyed climbing there. I'm a new member and recently took the Tech 101 class. Auston was my instructor and did an excellent job, giving me lot of good information and help. I'd suggest anyone just getting started take the Top-Rope class. It's well worth it 🙂

Everyone enjoyed themselves!!! Experienced a climber in our group that had some anxiety issues coming down on the auto belay. We were encouraging this person and had this person climb down some to feel more comfortable. Staff member walked over and started talking with the individual which was great. I myself was also talking with this individual then the staff member said sir we don't need your two cents worth. I never said a word until this same staff member instructed the individual that she did not have to listen to any of us and that she also has anxiety issues as well so she knows what she is doing . I said she does need to listen to us and I didn't appreciate her comment. Management did apologize for the incident and removed this staff member from the floor. All other staff members were so very polite and helpful. I have been to this place a few other times and always had a good experience.

Great facility and the staff has good attention to safety and monitoring the gym. They are well trained and educated on climbing.
I loved the free yoga classes for members--would love to see them back soon! They made the membership packed with value.

The staff was very friendly and helpful - but also not overly so once the employee realized my young teen had climbed at another facility. My 13yo and his 15yo friend who is also quite experienced had a great day of climbing and bouldering.

Good boulders. Good routes. Good friends. A cozy gym with a strong community and a great weekday hang after work. The staff are excellent and I always feel welcomed by their smiles. The management does a great job advertising local community events and organizing their own every month.

New boulders are set every 1-2 weeks. Frequently enough that there's regular opportunities to flash and still plenty of time to project. Like any gym, you'll start to recognize familiar faces and make friends if you keep a consistent schedule.

If you go between 5:30 and 8:30 there will be team kids on the boulders. You have been warned.
