Climb North just doesn't have the number of routes/options that TCW does, though the people who operate it aren't as elitist. I drive 25 minutes each way versus 10 minutes just because I'm not a big Climb North fan.

Yes TCW's website is horrible but I don't mind the gym and actually think the bouldering area is pretty good though I haven't really been around to many other gyms. In terms of top-roping or leading, the only other gyms I've been to (2 in Cleveland) blow it away.
the gyms in cleveland blow it away? ouch...

Yeah but the outdoor climbing in Pittsburgh blows Cleveland away, so we don't really need great indoor leading/TR.

Holy Sh*t. If the two gyms in cleveland blow it away, you will be better off just blowing your brains out than going to the gym.
