Fantastic experience: Great gym! It's clean, comfortable and big enough to not have to wait or feel crowded. Climbing is a fantastic full body work out. It pays to watch the video on how to properly fall tho. There is no shame in staying clipped into the auto belay!!!

Fantastic experience: This is a great place with lots of friendly and supportive regulars. My kids love it. I just wish the kid's climbing team was open to 5 and up instead of 10 and up

Fantastic experience: the grading here is harder than other climbing gyms, and for good reason. very detailed routes with a ton of variety. clean, awesome community and environment to be in for hours. i wish there was a crack to climb but the amount of volumes is more than any other gym ive been to.

Fantastic experience: Supportive community and great way to make climbing friends. Don't forget to ask Lu¢a$ at the front desk for any help you need while visiting!

Benjamin Wrobel 2 years ago

Positive experience: Good gym, routes are marked by tape rather than being all the same color which can be confusing at times but other than that great routes and good turnover

Zachary Hiter 2 years ago

Thomas Ashley 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is truly a diamond in the rough. It's a very well run old-school style climbing gym that remains competitive in the era of massive commercial facilities. The layout is great for serious training and recreational climbing for a wide range of abilities, the setting is outstanding, and the owners have cultivated a wonderful space for the local climbing community. The world needs more gyms like Crimpers!

Andy Martin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Man this place is amazing if you ever had a desire to check out rock climbing these guys will get you up to speed in no time!

vincent snell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great staff and the owners are very helpful. The gym in my mind is bouldering orientated but provide several top rope routes and have about 4 auto belays.

Corey Raucheisen 2 years ago

Olive Nichols 2 years ago

Lindsay Antal 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been to. The owners care deeply about sharing their passion for climbing with others. The staff are incredibly helpful and kind. The community is free of judgement and full of fun people. The climbs are great for anyone interested in checking it out, with climbs for beginners readily available. Recent additions to the bouldering and top-rop walls are prime for training and testing your limits. Love this place!

Hope Tobey 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome time with a great group of people. Everyone is friendly. Not intimidating at all even if you have never climbed before. Very good exercise that is fun never boring. There are new climbs every week.

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym!

Scott Simmons 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I visited here from out of town for a climbing competition and were thoroughly impressed. Both her Youth and my Citizens competitions were very well run. They even screened a climbing movie at the end of the competition, free of charge...and so that people didn't have to run out for dinner between the end of the comp and the beginning of the movie, they ordered pizza for everyone, also free of charge. The facility itself is of medium size for a climbing gym and it's efficiently packed with plenty of offerings, including a lead climbing section, top rope, a long bouldering wall as well as a moon-board-like training wall and campus board. We'll have warm memories of our day at Crimper's and will most likely return for the competition next year.

Fantastic experience: Really tall bouldering wall, friendly people, nice environment

Holly Brown 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Small but mighty. I came in from out of town and was lucky to find this gym for an evening of climbing. The staff were super friendly, the routes will challenge climbers of all abilities, and the overall atmosphere was very community-oriented. The only downside was the cost: it was much more expensive than larger, better-appointed facilities elsewhere. Despite that, if I'm ever back in the area, I'll be back for sure.

Katy Zeisler 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: A really cool place to climb. Growing fast! Danielle the owner was so great and super knowledgeable. We came in needing a belay test and hoping for a lead test as well. Danielle wasn’t in but the desk staff at the front was able to contact her and she came in specifically for us! Made my trip! If you’re looking for a local spot to workout and prep for outdoor climbing this is the place!

Fantastic experience: Had a blast

Cole Helms 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn how to climb/get your body into climbing condition. They have an abundance of payment options for memberships and offer courses in Belay and other climbing activities. I go there simply to work out sometime because it is less crowded than many of the other gyms around town.

Jim Stoll 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Crimper's is a great "climber's" climbing gym, with a variety of routes and climb types to challenge anyone. There is a lot of bouldering (soon to be expanded even further), a decent amount of top roping (also soon to be expanded), and a dedicated lead area, as well. (My personal favorite part!!) There is also a nicely setup training area (also soon to be expanded), and classes are offered in training/fitness, and climbing techniques. The owners (Danielle and John) are both passionate climbers, and this gym is the embodiment of their visions and passions. There is a healthy community surrounding the gym, and everyone from Danielle and John, to the staff, and to the members, are very welcoming, helpful, encouraging, and kind. There are a number of membership options, ranging from day passes to monthly memberships, and prices are very reasonable. The facilities alone are worth it, but when you factor in the community, the classes, etc, its a no-brainer. We are incredibly fortunate to have this true gem in our little corner of the world!

Fantastic experience: Took my daughter here on a whim for a last minute birthday night and she had a blast. They had everything for a first time climber and gave detailed instructions on how to safely climb the walls. Miranda at the front desk was wonderful and very informative. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for some fun.

Brent Warner 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym to train and connect with other climbers

Arielle Carr 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I climbed at Crimper's for about 5 years before moving out of state for work. I still come back every chance I get. The gym itself is meticulously maintained; the training area is *amazing*; and the routes throughout the gym are thoughtful and plentiful. I was completely new to the sport when I started, and gained valuable knowledge over the years through the advice from and mentorship of the owners, staff, and other members. The sense of community fostered at Crimper's is what kept me coming and climbing hard. They even hold local events, like potlucks (with awesome local food and fun games), as well as participate in larger-scale events, like "Walls Are Meant For Climbing" and "SheSets".

Emma Walker 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Hands down my favorite setting in any gym. The staff are friendly, the gym is neat and thoughtfully laid out, the bouldering terrain is tall and offers a diverse array of angles from slab to roof, and the workout area has all the equipment necessary to get strong and prevent injury. Crimp is run by two incredibly kind and generous people and is beloved by the community it fosters.

Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff, I had never been to a climbing gym before and was a little intimidated, but the other climbers were nice, and I had a blast. Can't beat the prices either, it was loads of fun, and there seemed to be enough of a variety for any skill level to have a challenge.
