I love this place! I've been here several times, and I've always had a blast. Everyone's friendly, whether they're staff or customers. There's no feeling of stress or anxiety that I get in a normal gym. The main attraction here is the climbing wall, which snakes its way from the front of the building to the back. Every part of the wall has problems of any skill level imaginable. Even someone who has never been active in their life could find something that they could do, and they'd have a fantastic time. Besides the climbing wall, there's a section for grip training, a store selling climbing gear and yummy snacks, as well as a conventional (albeit small) gym. Honestly my favorite thing about this place is the people. This is one of those rare places where the customers are just as willing to help as the staff. For example, I learned how to rock climb thanks to a nice dude who just happened to be climbing when I showed up for the first time. The staff are genuinely good people, as well - one time when the cashier was telling me the price, he got his words mixed up and told me a price that was lower than it actually was. He corrected himself before he slid my card, but he decided to give me the lower price that he erroneously said anyways. Awesome! This place is such an obscure little gem of Birmingham, and I want to get the word out as much as I can.
