All around great gym with great staff and a well built community. Love the store variaty as well. The setting has interesting movements, where a good chunk emulates the style found at Castle hill, though the climbs are on the softer side. The gym also has plenty of training tools related to climbing for advanced climbers, and also has a seperate yoga studio for those who enjoy a good stretch. Would love to have the membership option that allows full bouldering area access but doesn't include yoga, as currently, there are only 2 options (off peak and full access)

Been going to this gym since mid 2024, and decided to become a member in January 2025, and I'm so glad I decided to and wish I had done it sooner. Great staff, great people, super fun for any skill level as I've been able to go from the 3s and able to do 7s now and gained all my strength and skill at this gym. I'm slightly introverted as well, but no ones judging or forcing you to be social with the people around. Every kind of person fits in in this gym I can't express how great it is. The cafe is super cool and the upstairs on top of it is perfect to dine or study and you can watch other people climbing too. Basically the gym is almost perfect, and I hope uprising is able to expand in the future. But if not I'm thoroughly satisfied regardless!

My son and I came here for the 1st time today and had the best time. The staff are friendly and helpful. We could have stayed all day. They also accept the hapai card. The other climbers were friendly and helpful too. And they make a yummy brownie. We'll definitely come back again!

Having climbed here 2 years now, this place definitely deserves a great review. The facility is well designed with the main bouldering area having a comprehensive variety of climbing sets that get regularly rotated out with fresh ones by the route setters. There's a gym, plenty of hangboards, additional training area, spray wall, moonboard, circuit board, yoga space, cafe and even a fun climbing play area for kids called blocland. The cafe sitting area is up a flight of stairs that overlook the climbs and an adequate selection of food and beverages. Toilets are clean and personal storage cubbies aplenty.. although they can definitely be full up on busy days. I guess you can see all this details in a couple of pictures but what you can't experience without being there yourself is the friendly and accommodating staff and the very encouranging and welcoming community of regular climbers that just makes this a top locale. Closing at 10pm is a boon for many with family commitments after regular work hours.

Nice gym! Majority of problems seems slab by or overhang. Interesting route setting. Nice training area as well with the usual equipment (several hang boards Beast Master 1000 and 2000), weights, chinup bar etc. Staff were really friendly and accommodating! St
