    Not kid friendly. It's more of a fitness workout gym for teens and adults. Wasted money to find…read morethis out after about 10 minutes.

    A heads up from the get-go, this is not a rope-based climbing gym.

There is another place in Boone for that, though admittedly their hours are much shorter. I was happy to find this place open on a Saturday evening until 10pm. There's plenty of wall space if there are just a few climbers here but I bet it can easily get crowded. There is lots of other equipment for cross training, but most of it is quite dated. Like something your dad or uncle had in their garage in their teens and 20s. A rusted fan-bike and nylon wrapped, thin foam padded bench. There's a cool "moon board" on the opposite side of the gym at a 40 degree angle. I personally have a hard enough time climbing vertical walls though. There are some rings and balls suspended from the ceiling for you to impress your friends or yourself with some gymnastics level moves. And of course lots of fingerboard options. Normally a Saturday would be packed I bet but I came in during an event elsewhere in town that was specifically popular with the climbing types. So I basically had the gym to myself. At a price of $14 (I brought my own shoes and chalk, not sure if they rent them) it was in line with the gym back home in Charlotte. There's a waiver process that will take you a few minutes to complete. The bathrooms are large and there's a relatively limited amount of cubby space to put your stuff. The hand holds felt tight and I didn't find a single spinner. I was able to clear all of their V0s, most of their V1s and one of their V2s. As you can see I'm barely a bouldering beginner but I will say these seemed to fall in line with my expectation for difficulty. Lastly, the music choice for the evening I was there was not kid friendly and not really to my liking. I imagine it would be different on crowded days or if children were here. All considered though, I would definitely come back.

    We were in town recently visiting my parents and needed an activity for my two boys to get some…read moreenergy out. I did a Yelp search of the area and this place popped up. Our experience wasn't great - but I think that's largely because from the online photos we were expecting something closer to what we've experienced back home at our local climbing gyms. The whole facility is much more catered to serious climbers than kids. I was amazed watching some of the adult folks who came in and tried the huge bolder walls. We came in about 2 in the afternoon. It took almost 30 minutes just to get checked in, rental equipment, MANY statements about how my children could be harmed or die, and then a whole bunch of instruction on how to do the harnesses. That was new for us - every other climbing gym we've been to has staff to assist children with this. Then we were faced with the fact that there are only 5 climbing paths that have safety harnesses - this didn't end up being too much of an issue because no other kids came in, so my boys had free-reign to swap between the paths, but if there had been more kids - I anticipate we'd have been waiting around a lot to take turns. Also my arthritis was quite unhappy with me after over an hour of fastening harnesses. If we end up back in town, would we do it again? Maybe - the pricing was fair, and the boys did end up enjoying it. But if you're looking for a child-specific activity, that's not really what the vibe of this place is.

    Had a great experience walking in with no preparation... staff was so helpful and friendly. They…read morehad us climbing in 15 minutes, for a fun afternoon, great workout and a really environment! Will be back.

    High Gravity lies between Blowing Rock and Boone just off highway 321/221 on the Tweetsie Railroad…read moreproperty. Took 9/4 year olds up for a day trip. 4 year old struggles at first with the zip line but the staff there are young and cool so they helped him along. 9 yr old loved the whole thing but wants to go back and do the more challenging course. Swing is a must but under 7 can't go on it. However there is a ninja course next to it they can mess around on while your getting towed up for the swing. Here's my three things: 1) $150+ for 3 for a couple hours so plan accordingly. Check ages and weights for everyone against their online profiles. 2) Snacks and drinks available but limited. 3) They have safes to lock up your valuables while you are on the course. Staff is pretty chill and very safety oriented. Stop by Happy Valley Filling station on the way up or down the mountain if coming up/down 321. Great pizza's and beer!

Our 12-year-old was extremely bored on the small course and we were able to get him off midway through. He did not even complete the course and they still charged us more than just the difference to do the bigger course. They did not advise us that the small course should just be for kids under 8yo as it is extremely basic. They also did not space the kids out well enough and our kids were waiting a long time on the course. Dissatisfied with the organization and customer service.
