MetroRock Newburyport

Positive experience: Friendly staff, good variety of routes that are fairly rated. New routes pop up every three weeks or so, so if you climb often you may run out of new routes in your level. Can get crowded as there are often kids classes or group nights (would recommend avoiding "guys night" on Wednesdays). I really like this gym when it's not too crowded but I do have a similar complaint to some of the other reviewers. I've been going biweekly for probably two months now and usually there's like one or two people in the way of the top roping walls. They'll move if you ask but I shouldn't have to. However, yesterday there was a huge crowd of boulderers blocking like a fourth of the available top roping routes. Even worse, a coach/staff member was blocking a few routes in another spot having a meeting while sitting under a top rope wall! I know we are uncommon and most people autobelay or boulder, but it just comes off as really rude especially when they can clearly see us trying to climb. Wish they would enforce climbing etiquette more.

Fantastic experience: Great place for all abilities
