The wall is shorter than the short wall at Rockface. It has around 20 routes with one pretty easy fist width crack. I go there pretty often as it is only 5min from my house. I usually go in the evenings and every time except maybe once we have been the only ones there. the hardest route is around a 22, though I think the grades at SJ YMCA are easy compared to other places.
We went there in Feb. and had a good time. When I asked how often they change the routes, the woman at the desk they hadn’t been changed since the place opened FIVE years ago!!
The route grading is a bit curious there too, as it probably didn’t get reviewed by many climbers. The numbers seemed +/-2 grades off.
It’s an OK place – about 12 top ropes with a few routes on each. The walls are about 7 meters high and mostly vertical. Routes range from 13 to 25. It’s apparently mostly used for group bookings, so is often deserted. Worth a visit.
