Vertical Plains used to share a space with a gymnastics club and was located on Springfield, behind the Central Tap. When it was there, it was an excellent gym with a variety of different pitches and holds. It moved a few years ago to the Lifelines location, and since then it's become a far less interesting place to climb. The bouldering wall has a much steeper overhang, the toproping section is shorter, there cave isn't as interesting and the whole climbing space is shoved into one corner of the building, almost as an afterthought.
There's still some interesting people who climb there, and some interesting routes set up, but overall you might be better off driving to Bloomington.
