Went for the first time today. Both me and my son rock climb and wanted to check the place out. WOW first class. The young guy that helped us, Tommy, was super nice and very concerned about our safety. Stayed with us until he knew all was good. The walls are super high and the routes are great. If you like bouldering you’ll be in heaven. They have thought of everything. Even not allowing climbing shoes in the bathrooms.(Think about it) The price wasn’t bad for a day pass but I’m usually not staying that long. So I wish that they had a half day price.

L’escalade is a world class facility that is unlike anything Lexington was even prepared for. It took one afternoon to check it out and I was back in the evening to sign up for a membership. Sure, the Red is close enough, but not close enough to climb three plus times a week for most of us. Routes that stretch 50 vertical feet to the anchors make this the perfect place to work your endurance and three walls of bouldering will pinpoint your weaknesses and challenge your strengths. The staff is friendly and laid back which contributes to a welcoming experience for new climbers young and old. I had always been put off by the idea of ‘training in a gym’ but L’escalade has been a great addition to my routine and has immediately improved my flow and strength on the rock. I really can’t say enough good things about this place. If you climb– just go! You won’t regret it. The $ 60 that it costs for the membership is a paltry fee in exchange for the well being and strength you’ll receive in return.
