Just went today for the first time. I've been bouldering for about 4 years now, and this is one of the better gyms I've been to. Despite being small, they make excellent use of the space. The setting is stellar, and the other climbers I spoke to were cool and kind enough to explain to me how the boulder problems and grading worked. I even received some cool information about local outdoor areas to check out during the colder seasons. Overall great experience. I immediately purchased a punch card and will probably purchase a full membership soon.

This is a great place to have a kid’s birthday party! My 6 year old had a blast! All of the men working were so good with the kids! They also had great customer service. The price is very reasonable and they include a free tshirt for the birthday child. Plus a free month’s membership! I can’t say enough good things about it! 10/10 recommend

I pay too much to climb here to have the AC be broken. I'm grateful for this place but come on guys, I feel so bad for the workers. Also bring the suggestion box back... there's so many critiques that need to be addressed. **IN RESPONSE TO OWNER Such a funny response, somehow you managed to be dismissive of my concerns while simultaneously blaming me for people giving critique of your business as well as trying to guilt me with the cost of fixtures? I wonder why so many people were leaving negative comments in the suggestion box? Please use your critical thinking skills Adrian and Jackie. This was an extremely embarrassing response. I acknowledged how grateful I was for the space, but that doesn't mean you are safe from criticism. For anyone wondering about the AC incident, no statement was ever given to members on when it would be fixed or that is was broken. You ought to have more pizza parties and member nights for how much you rely on these people, as the community here is the saving grace. If you spent any amount of time in the gym and talked to the members you would realize how many qualms people have with the place. Be grateful you're the one gym in town besides Ramsey.

Amazing staff, great facility. Literally fun for all ages. My 2 yr old loves it, my 8 yr old nieces and nephews love it, I love it. Hard to find a better place when the weather’s not ideal. Highly recommend.

Not a very big place but it was enough walls to climb, with a few challenging ones as well. Ted was very helpful and made you feel at home. Perfect spot to take a group of friends, you would never believe you'd get a bunch of laughs out of rock climbing but you will, especially when belaying your friends.lol Prices are reasonable and can leave and come back the day of purchase.

Great experience. Want to give a special shout Joey. When ever Joey was not helping a customer, they were busy cleaning. Really made it an very pleasant experience.

This is a bouldering gym for the most part. I was an outdoor pitch climber 20 years ago. After paying for three day passes I joined for a month today. I'm so out of climbing shape I decided to use this bouldering (a term I never heard before) to get back in shape to get back on the pitch. You can use your own chalk and shoes. I've never climbed indoors before, but the people there are friendly and helpful. They have some top ropes, but because I'm always there alone I've never got to use them even though they rent harnesses (I think most people there are like me. They bring their gear, but they're mostly into bouldering. ) Coming of the crag to a technical climbing gym is a change. I like it. EDIT: I Train inside. Climb outside, like the blue shirt from Active says. This is Currahee, granite, and Lookout Mountain Sunset Park in Chattanooga, sandstone cracking. Climb on!
