I actually didn't even climb at this gym. I spent about 5 mins talking to the two girls at the front desk. One of them actually pissed me off with her sarcastic remarks when I asked her about the gym, but the other was nice enough. I asked them about the gym walked past the fitness equipment and then checked out the wall. I watched a few climbers and boulders do a few problems and realized this gym was not at all what I was looking for so I just left.
My biggest complaint is that it's $15 to climb at this crappy gym. Maybe, just maybe if I was extremely bored and all the other gyms I visited were closed for the night, and I'd seen every movie in the theater I might actually climb in this gym. Luckily for me I brought my PS3 and some games so I won't ever have to subject myself to this pile of crap.
The routes are short, the bouldering is not seperated from the routes, and the wall is about 20-ft wide by 20-ft tall. This gym might have some good routes, but I will probably never be motivated to climb here. It looks more like a place where you can meet girl/guys rather than somewhere to beast.
In short if you are in the heart of downtown Chicago and want to get a fitness workout then hit up some routes, or problems than check it out. However there is a bouldering gym right near here.
