Let's hope the new gym will get everyone as fit as this place http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NBNnXNaMl4&feature=related Don't ask what roundabout way I found that, lol

It's open now with the grand opening in early January. Anybody been there yet? General impression or other comments about the place? I've only ever climbed indoors at the BRG which is near work, but this new place is only a few miles from my house so I'll probably check it out.

Some friends of mine went yesterday.  They liked it and had a good time, with good to very good routes.  The one 'flaw' they mentioned is nothing easier than .12a or so on the steep 'cave' wall.  And, in general, not many leads in the .11 range.  However, they also mentioned that there is still quite a bit of room for more routes in the gym.  It takes a long time and a lot of effort and holds(!) to get a gym 'fully populated'.  There often is a shortage of the right holds and bolts it seems (no matter how much the owners have purchased).

Quinny has been a few times and says it is the best wall in the northeast.  The weather is still too good outside for me to go there, climbed and bouldered today till dark.   Who needs snow?

Ward, my friends thought Evo Rock is certainly good, perhaps a little ahead of with CRG but not all routes are good.  I will have to judge for myself in the near future .... I like CRG quite a bit but I only make it there about 4 times a year. 
Drive 1 hour East and I will give you a good tour of Metrorock, nothing but the best up at the moment.  There ought to be enough to keep you busy since I will have 200~250 to choose from.  And the women?  Well, what can I say other than you won't be disappointed as well. :)
