This place is really nice. I enjoy going here and pushing myself to my limit on climbing. A fun place to go to hang out, eat a pretzel and have a tea, and have fun climbing.
Had the BEST time climbing with my twin 5 year olds. Great family activity (bonus- that wore them out), in a welcoming space, with a sense of community . Will definitely be back soon.
I have never been bouldering before, but my experience at Rock Mill was very good. They have a large climbing space that accommodates climbers of all skills. It provides a great workout experience that is fun and enjoyable as well as challenging. Rock Mill also has a small fitness center, not anything huge but enough equipment to get you warmed up for climbing. Staff was very nice, and overall it was a great experience here.
Three of us came in for the first time tonight and we were checked in by a super helpful member of the gym’s staff. We probably went a little too big, too fast, but had a great time. The gym is very clean and the atmosphere is very laid back with friendly regulars.
I thinks we’re all a little sore, but looking forward to coming back!
Few gyms compare to the quality of holds, difficulty of climbs, variations of climbs (routes),
friendliness of patrons, personality of staff, cleanliness, and variety of fitness offered.
Rockmill sets the bar high or maybe I should say holds. From walking in the door Rock Mill is
set up centered around climbing and the climbing community yet offers a diverse range of
fitness classes that help with climbing along with yoga. This has created one of the most diverse gyms that I've gone
to.
The climbs (routes) at Rock Mill are quite diverse from the beginner to advanced. The routes are
well marked and easy to follow. Holds are of great quality and offer much better grip than other
gyms I've climbed. Routes are constantly changed every few weeks offering diversity in climbs.
The simple things are what Rock Mill nails. Rock Mill is clearly designed as a oasis
Whoever creates the playlists should get a raise as they're quite diverse yet well selected to go with the climbing
atmosphere. The set up allows for a good flow and they is a good amount of seats to rest and
watch. Even when they're is over 50+ people there is adequate room. Liquid chalk is provided which I've never been anywhere which gives it out.
The patrons at Rock Mill are always available for a chat especially to help you with a route that
you might be struggling on. Staff are constantly walking around to ensure safety and offer
pointers. Their staff also climb consistently and it shows as they know what they're talking
about.
Rock Mill does more than just be a gym with special events that incorporates the community
around them raising school supplies for local schools to donating canned foods along with the global climbing community. Sometimes I wonder if this is a for profit gym or one that just wants to help others out.
Overall if you haven't climbed at Rock Mill you need to. It will give you a challenge, you'll
probably meet a few people, and your body will probably say you worked hard after.
