I have been wanting to start here! Are they beginner/new person friendly? I don't really have any friends in the area (just moved) so I'd just be coming alone and it's been YEARS since I did any sort of indoor rock climbing.

I got started at the cliffs and still love it! I think they’re very new person friendly, there’s a great learn to climb package that gets you the intro to top rope class and a month membership with rentals included for shoes and harnesses so you could try that out and give it the month to see if the gym fits your vibe!

I've been there a few times, they seem pretty chill there, there are definitely a number of V0-V1 boulders and 5.5-ish roped climbs if you're looking to just ease in. Everyone's seemed pretty friendly and it really is a nice gym.

They are definitely friendly to new climbers. Lots of bouldering and their walls aren’t too tall
