Route setters have done an excellent job

Really good gym. Fantastic what they’ve done with the space given it’s quite a bit smaller than other gyms I’ve been to - the route setters have done an excellent job so far! Super friendly, welcoming atmosphere as well, which is ideal for myself and my fiancée as we are both relatively new to climbing.
