MRock Climbing Wall

The route setting here is downright terrible. The problems are painful, awkward, and seem to be set to purposefully force injuries. I agree with the review below that the feet are particularly bad. Even when problems have been explained to me by the route setter I have still been baffled by what is conceived to be acceptable movement for a climbing gym.
If you are new to climbing I would recommend using MRock as a place to learn how to belay. Other than this singular function the facility, and its idiotic setting, are completely useless.

There are times when you can’t afford a $ 200 per month membership to a gym out in the middle of nowhere so you just want something convenient to keep your strength up. This might be your answer.
M-​Rock is located in the basement of IMSB (intramural sports building) on south campus. If you’re a student, you can use your Mcard for entry. If you’re not a student, but know someone affiliated with the University of Michigan, you can get a membership ($ 35/​mo, 12 months for $ 420, 4 months for $ 200, or a 30 day trial for $ 90). If you don’t know anyone at U of M, you pay more.
Once you get down to the lower level, you’ll find it gets a little warm. But there are high ceilings and some natural light that comes in.
Every year, or as a first time climber, you have to go through a short safety demonstration, quiz, and trial. Anyone who has experience with sports climbing will whiz through this. Anyone who is brand new to climbing shouldn’t worry — it’s simple and they go through it slowly. It can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. There are even climbing classes that you can sign up for and climbing trips that are organized a few times a year.
You can buy a semester pass if you climb more than twice a week so you can save money. Otherwise it’s $ 5/​day which includes any equipment you need to borrow (chalk, chalk bags, shoes, harnesses…).
They’re definitely busier on Fridays than any other day — evenings get more packed, too — but toward the end of the semester or during exams, it’s almost completely empty. Some days you can be with one other person, other days there are 20.
Pro’s are that if you’re a student it’s conveniently located and incredibly cheap.
Con’s are that because of the way the problems are set, it’s hard for a super beginner to do any bouldering (the toe holds are all tiny). For those of you with more bouldering experience, you may find the problem setting a little… problematic. A lot is dependent on the height and bare strength of the climber more than their skills or grace or technique. The problems change maybe once a semester (for the comp that they have).
The walls are fairly small and minimal. There’s one overhang, a wall that’s pretty much 90° to the ground, and one that varies a little more. I’d say there isn’t a wall that’s higher than… 15 feet? And you can’t top out by climbing on top of anything, just touching the top hold. There isn’t a separate area for rope climbing and there aren’t many people who come here to sport climb. Good mellow place to be strapped in for the first time, though.
There are a lot of beginners here, which means a lot of people don’t know how to share walls or any other gym etiquette. Help them out and let them know. We all started out somewhere.
Because of the constant rotation of students and M-Rock’s weird hours (closed Sundays and Mondays, open only during the evening from 5−9pm Tues-​Sat — full closures during holidays and over the summer), it’s really hard to meet people and establish a good crew of climbing buddies. Be prepared to climb on your own. People are friendly enough, but not exceptionally wonderful.
Honestly this place would be 2 stars but if you take it for what it is, it almost hits 3.
Chalk up and head out.
