  Best climbing gym I've been to. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Routes are fun and high quality. Interesting moves on each one.

  1. The routes seem to be more technical than Base5 in my opinion, fun, varied, and challenging makes up for the short walls.

  2. They have 6 auto belays, which is great to run laps or if you find yourself partner less.

  1. They do not allow you to take a lead test if it is your 1st time at the gym. They will charge you twice, a Top Rope Belay test + Lead Test on 2 separate occasions.This is the only rope gym (edge,base5,oval) that does this double charge.

  Great use of space. Great for climbing. Have small bouldering area.

  3. There is often no staff members available that are trained to administer lead tests. When there is, they are still unavailable because they have to man the front desks. Issues with untrained staff as well as lack of general staff seems to be a re-occurring issue for this gym.

  2. They do not have dedicated lead areas in the gym, meaning that if it is busy, lead climbing (and lead tests) cannot be done. Lead tests may be "booked" ahead of time, but there is 0 guarantee it will occur. Unless you come at obscure times of the day (super late/during the day), this is not the place for lead climbing.

  Great atmosphere, plenty of variety in the routes, although I'd question some of the grading choices... Reasonable prices and helpful staff make Cliffhanger a good place to climb.

  Really enjoy training here. Lots of routes available as well as self belay routes. There is a bouldering wall if you are without a belay partner that day. the change rooms feature lockers and a shower.
