If you've climbed at other gyms and haven't climbed at vertical world, get ready for a treat! Theese are the best fake panels to climb on. Instead of just plain old boards, The walls have a texture on them with features just the right size for edging on. This is the only gym in the world to have these because they have a patent on the panels. They also sell these for about as much as it costs to make them. Did I mention this gym is really clean and well maintained? You will sure get a lot more bang for your buck than in other gyms! If you get a membership and climb a lot, It will be a really good deal. The instructors have a lot of experience in climbing. Jane especially; she really knows what she is doing when it comes to technique and is very friendly.
Pros: fun, good parking, clean
Cons: long drive
