Twisters is my local gym and by far my favorite. It may be small but the people who work there really want to help you get better, and love climbing as much as me. My teachers, Eric and Spencer put in a lot of effort including going to the competitions. Twisters is usually a quiet place so it is good for people who are a bit shy. Also Twisters has a really awesome cave that you can climb up to then jump down from, kind of AWESOME. The gym is divided into different sections the top rope area which is downstairs and the bouldering area upstairs. May not look like the best climbing gym but you should never judge a book by its cover. I give this place five big awesome stars.

I recently received a new pair of climbing shoes. They are amazing. They seem perfect for smearing, overhang and slab. They are also the most comfy shoes I have worn. The best part is that they say Rockstar on the side.Seriously  evolv creators are climbing geniuses. They do seem to have a small amount of padding which I have noticed when standing on a hold for too long.

I give these shoes four and a half stars.

Planet Granite, Belmont is where I had my first competition and that place is humongous. They have a combination of slab, overhang and everything else on every route. I do not know how they manage to keep such a nice smell considering how busy it is!

The bouldering area is mainly overhanging. One wall for top roping, my favorite, has tons of features and a great place to chimney. Parking was hard to find and most people had to park up the street. This place was built in an old cinema and is really easy to find considering the big sign which says Belmont.  check it out here

I give it 4 out of 5 stars!
