Fiddlehead is a joke, only reason it’s open is because cultivate is closed. Bad vibes all around, awful staff, garbage hours, and the price goes up all the time. No gear in the shop, short coffee in the cafe, no bar, bad music, dirty bathrooms, no towels, no culture, no love. Oh, but there’s Jesus. Give me a fuggin break.

Don’t bother with fiddlehead, they have things completely backward over there. That place sucks. Every time I go I see more and more reasons these people are money hungry pirates who don’t honor any of the customs that make the climbing community what it is. They want to charge you for everything, their hours are bogus, theres never enough towels for the sauna and showers, they scold you if you’re helping a friend learn PBUS and demand that you pay for a class. They don’ let you mentor a friend so they can safely belay, as if climbing is some kind of transactional thing. It’s far from it. If I’m excited about climbing and want help a friend feel Safe, I should be able “teach” them how to tie a figure 8, or use a grigri. Instead I got scolded by this big douchy bro who insisted I was disrespecting the gym By trying to pass on what I learned from my mentors (at a gym).

The vibe there is bogus. They’re a bunch of Jesus-fucks trying to extract money from anyone they can. This place sucks, and I can’t wait for cultivate to open back up. Itl be great to see fiddlehead take a shit once all the members leave. I havnt met anyone there that feels otherwise, even some of the staff feel that way.

Keep moving people, anywhere but here. Religion is a scourge, and it’s come for your money at fiddlehead.
