i love this place. i started learning to climb here, and the staff and environment itself has given me a beautiful opportunity to physically grow as a climber, and attached community and love to the sport.

The facility is clean, the safety rules are clear, and there's a great selection of routes for both bouldering and auto-belay, which means even someone out of shape like me can have a good time and find success. Plus, every staff member I've met has been super friendly.

I'm traveling through town and wanted a temporary membership while I'm here. Focus totally met my needs and even had a special where I could show off my skills and get some free merch. Joe (the ower) is super knowledgeable and helpful, he even gave me some pointers for increasing my finger strength. Tanner did an awesome orientation, in depth but not overdone. The gym is a good size and offers both bouldering options and auto belays of varying difficulty. It was never packed when I went so I didn't have to wait to climb and I was able to traverse all around on the boulders without being in anyone's way. Highly recommend this gym 💜

Clean facility, staight-forward safety rules, a wide selection of routes for both bouldering and auto-belay so even an out-of-shape old person like me can find success. Each of the staff members I have met have been extremely friendly.

Fantastic climbing gym! Big with many autobelays and a gnarly overhang on the bouldering wall. The owners are super sweet and walked us through everything we needed to know

This is my favorite gym for when I’m visiting family for the holidays! Feels like an old school climbers gym (tough climbs! lots of crushers! training center with tension board, campus board, and multiple hangboard) but without any snobby vibes (friendly people! lots of families and kids! lots of beginners!).Love that they have tall bouldering walls and that many routes are graded up to a halfway point with an option to continue on. It’s nice for those of us with injury prone ankles but still who want to complete a problem without bailing early! Wish more bouldering gyms would implement this.Also, thanks for being one of the few remaining gyms to still have auto belays! Those of us traveling through appreciate it.edit: This gym continues to be top notch and far better than gyms all over the country. Freaking quality setting 🔥

A LOCAL GYM! Just started climbing a little over one month ago. Tanner is great. From the moment I checked in for the first time to this very day he has been nothing but professional and kind. After my third visit he greeted me by name! It reminded me when I was a regular at a bar. Now it’s a climbing gym. Oh how the times have changed. Orientation was super easy to follow, the pacing was comfortable where it didn’t feel rushed and I felt safe afterwards. The overall environment and culture is very relaxed. Everyone that climbs there is really nice too. It’s very clean. Bathrooms are spotless. The shared chalk always seems clean (I don’t really know if it can be dirty lol). The walls are clean, I never feel gross touching them, and that goes for the mats as well. My only complaint is I can’t walk there because I really don’t like driving. I accidentally walked in on a competition day and the man running the competition was very enthusiastic. It was fun to watch. As I was watching he asked if I wanted to join, he quickly recognized that I didn’t really know what was happening and then he took the time to explain how competitions work. I declined the invite to join but I felt very welcome. There was still plenty for me to climb that days regardless. I went from a complete beginner to someone that thinks about climbing throughout my days. Thank you Focus!!

The owners Joe and Jacie are the absolute sweetest! Super accommodating and helpful every time I come here. Joe and his team enjoy providing fresh, new paths for climbers as they update the routes on each climbing wall. LGBTQ+ friendly and just an overall great place to climb for beginners (like myself) and experts! Also the music they play is fire 🔥. I'd give them six starts out of five if I could! Would recommend.

Great experience at this gym. Employees are super nice and helpful. This is an encouraging gym who seem to welcome all. The fact that it is locally owned makes it even better.

Took my boys rock climbing for the first time and we had soo much fun! Staff was nice and helpful but let us do our own thing once we did the orientation. As a mom with a 5 and 13 year old it’s hard finding activities they both enjoy. 5 stars would go back again!
