I'm moving to Chicago for the summer, and I'm looking for a gym. Bouldering gym is cool too, as I see there isn't much else in Chicago. I've seen Off Belay and Hidden Peak, but not sure which is better. Any suggestions? Thanks

Not sure how far north you'd be willing to go, but there's pretty decent in-door climbing at the Libertyville Sports Complex

Hidden Peak is a great Bouldering spot. If you're looking for rope climbing I'd check out Vertical Endeavors in Warrenville.

Agree that VE is the best big gym for routes and autobelays.

Thanks everyone...I'm thinking I may check out hidden peak first, as it is a lot closer than VE, but VE does sound sweet.
