Yep,

I like it. Not as many people (yet) as Mission cliffs!!

And the holds and walls are rough still so a little more like touching rock than plastic. Also nice as I can walk there. Walls have more angles so more stemming, 3-d climbing than the other gym. Did a knee bar on a climb, kinda fun!

Almost empty,.,.,in a good way. Its so nice to be able to go and actually climb as much as I want without the waiting around. I live 6 blocks from Mission Cliffs but have recently been going to Oakland more. Its still in process so I am sure it will only get better.

I went there last week. Unfortunately, most of the routes were closed because of the bouldering comp on friday, but I had a good time bouldering the starts of the 5.12's.

The holds are all brand new and sticky as hell. I was able to climb with very little effort because of that. The walls are still full of dust and loose debris, and I managed to get some crud in my eye at one point. No biggie though. It cleared out in a minute.

The rest of the gym is still unfinished. The weight room is good to go, and the bathrooms look good... but the rest of the space is pretty raw. I did some wandering around after climbing and there's some secret nooks and crannies here and there. I didn't check the roof door lock, but it might be possible to wander up there on a stealth mission. :)


I'll most likely be going back this week and I'll start to get back into a routine again. It's just so damn convenient now that I don't have any more excuses.
