I thought that was super cool, and my kids loved it. The gym has high walls as well as a small bouldering area. The mats were a bit harder than what I was used to but nothing to worry about. The service was fantastic, and we were shown how to fall and given all the rules before we started. I can appreciate a gym that is safety oriented. By the time we left it was getting very busy. But great little gym in this area! Loved it! I would love to drop back by if I am in the area! Thank you!

I stopped in to climb while in the area for a bit. I try to climb a couple days a week where I…read morelive, and I'd say I'm a high beginner/low intermediate climber. As mentioned both on the website and in another review, it is a little confusing to find the gym but just keep walking to the back of the Evergreen community center and you'll find it. Something I was excited about for this gym was that it has relatively tall walls compared to what I am used to climbing on, and I was really looking forward to practicing some longer routes BUT there were only 2 auto-belays, which was a bit of a disappointment for me. If you know how to belay and have a buddy, there are a bunch of really awesome looking routes but if you are a solo climber that doesn't want to pay a staff belay, you're kind of SOL. The bouldering area is pretty good but I found myself really limited in what was offered to a not-super-great climber like myself. I also didn't understand the bouldering route system - one of the staff explained it to me and I THOUGHT I understood it, but it turns out I really didn't! Overall, it seems like this gym is geared towards more skilled climbers with not as many options for people like me. I had a good enough time, but it didn't feel like there was a lot of me there. I can imagine that this is an awesome place to go for more skilled climbers!

They have pretty diverse options for top roping. The gym was set up from a previous youth comp, but we enjoyed the challenge of that. We found that the non-comp courses may have been graded slightly easier than other gyms, but still enjoyable. The staff were fantastic- knowledgeable, friendly, and ready to help. And they have awesome stickers, which was a nice bonus. Pricing was at par with other gyms, and of course cheaper if you're bringing your own gear!

We had an excellent experience with Northeast Mountaineering. My husband has gone ice climbing with…read morethem before, so we had 100% confidence in technical skills, gear rentals etc going in. For this trip though, we were bringing our 7&9 year olds for their first ever outdoor rock climbing experience. While we were confident that the guide would have the technical skills necessary to support new climbers on this rock, the soft skills needed to support such young children are quite different. Noah, our guide, exceeded all of our expectations. He was a patient and sturdy leader throughout our adventure. He was flexible and adapted to everyone's needs. He was ready with options for a change of plans when things were moving slower or more quickly than anticipated. Our typically 'slow to warm up' child asked on the ride home, "you guys have been friends with him forever, right?" And, although we all just met Noah that morning, he built rapport with our crew quickly and easily. For our son, that made the difference between spending the day cautious around a new person or digging in and enjoying a new adventure.

I really enjoy this location as far as bouldering goes. I especially love that it's on the water…read moreand the view is stunning from the large windows. There's an outdoor deck/patio that you can sit and relax on too if you want to take a break from your workout. Although the bouldering section is relatively smaller (compared to the Portsmouth location which is entirely bouldering), there is a good variety of problems and wall angles, plus an additional smaller wall on the upper level. Price wise, I'd say it's a little steep especially if you only want to boulder (or only ropes- I wish gyms offered discounts for one type of climbing but I understand that would be difficult to track/enforce). And amenities are a little older/dated, but they do have showers, foot rinse stations etc. And a nice retail/merch section of front. For first time visitors - I know every gym has its standards/procedures, but the entire mandatory walkthrough and explanation of all classes/events offered is a bit overkill in my opinion. I think that is something that should be announced/posted on flyers and elaborated on in person on a case-by-case basis. All in all though, I do enjoy this facility and try to make it out at least once during my annual beach vacation in Maine. @azfitfoodfun

That being said, the Climbing Gym is an awesome place to learn to climb! And to just hang out. Everyone there is extremely friendly and they're also nice enough to teach you how to climb. Since this is the only indoor climbing gym that I'm aware of in Hanover... it's pretty much as good as it gets! Go go go! You can borrow shoes. Rock climbing is exhausting, but quite rewarding :)

It is cheaper to buy a month pass ($40), but the quality of the gym can hardly warrant more than one visit per month. I've paid $15+ out in San Francisco, but those are kick ass gyms with great facilities and paid, good route setters. This gym...well, it has potential, but it is a mess and has horrible route setting. While the lady owner is nice, the guy is a control freak and has no idea how to climb or set routes. He sets everything with holds super far apart and thinks that makes for interesting/hard climbing. The holds haven't been cleaned in probably 7 years. The floors are disgusting, the place stinks. And the bathrooms....oh my, the bathrooms. I actually dry heaved when I went into the Men's room last time I was there. There is some kind of septic back up that emanates the most foul smell out of the sink. And the water in the sink hardly even works. We all thought that the change in ownership might fix some of the infrastructure problems: but they did absolutely nothing! Avoid this place!

This is a difficult excision, and the trail may be wet, and even in rock climbing shoes is slippery. There were also orange slugs everywhere, which with foot hold slipping got squished by hands. The first several miles are flat, and then you start bouldering into and then up the Ravine. We did find some show in June, and the caves were cold and refreshing. The climb up to the top of the ravine is challenging, but you are rewarded with epic photo ops and views. The only unpleasantness was the mosquitos and black flies. Kids always bring your bug repellent. You can also extend the hike to hit the peak of Mount Adams. It is prone to storms and lightening. You can seek shelter in the hut near the peak if trapped in a storm. You do not have to go back down the ravine, you can return vis the Mount Adams trail, it is a loop.
