Very, very happy with our experience with Fox and with our guide, Forrest…read more I have climbed twice in my life, the last time being 20 years ago, and my partner had only ever climbed indoors previously, so this booking of a half day guided climb was pretty new to us. That being said, it was a fantastic experience. Forrest was very professional and we both felt very safe. The place we climbed was super cool and beautiful, and I have no trouble recommending this company for anyone beginner to expert (another guide was with a much lire experienced group above us, literally).

We especially loved the bike park portion for our kid. At $160 a month for a family of 3 (since our 4th was free because she's under 4), we just couldn't afford it anymore. We asked if we could do a bike only membership, and they said they no longer offer them. I was also interested in the different groups they hosted (examples: homeschool groups, etc), but the group membership if I remember correctly was $160 per person just to be apart of groups. I really do wish they had something more all-inclusive at a better price, as well as just better prices all around. We were only able to go about once a week which just didn't make the high price tag worth it. We've been to similar climbing gyms for $100 a month for a family, so this was just too steep for our budget. I've heard from several other local families that have had the same experience. Hoping they make things more cost effective for future families to join!

To have this type of rock climbing facility is incredible and in our small rural area. About 20 minutes from downtown Greenville, it's in the Blue Ridge area of Taylors. Inside is incredible. All different challenges and climbing wall paths. We could easy stay for hours with all ages. Additionally special yoga classes on Monday and Wednesday are up my ally. Whether you want the kids to wear out some energy or just a fun date, I highly recommend it!

There are 3 viewpoints: road level, mid-level down a short set of stairs, and at the base down a second set of stairs.

Soco Falls is absolutely worth the stop if you're driving through the area. The waterfall is…read morebeautiful, and the photos honestly don't do it justice. That said... don't let the short hike fool you! The walk down isn't bad--it's the climb back up that will definitely remind you whether you've been keeping up with your cardio. Thankfully, there are handrails and benches along the trail because I absolutely took advantage of them on the way back. I thought I was in decent shape... the mountain quickly humbled me! My advice: wear good hiking shoes, bring water, and if you have a walking stick, use it. A neck fan isn't a bad idea either during the warmer months. Just because you see people tackling the trail in Crocs or flip-flops doesn't mean it's a good idea. If you're adventurous, there is a way to get down to the base of the falls, where people were swimming, but we admired it from the overlook instead. The surrounding mountain views are beautiful as well, making it an easy stop even if you're just passing through. If you're in the Bryson City/Cherokee area, don't skip Soco Falls. Just come prepared, take your time, and enjoy one of the prettiest waterfalls in Western North Carolina.

I was seeking a waterfall and didn't quite have time to make it to Cherokee and the Great Smoky…read moreMountains, and so located this turn-off a couple of miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway. The parking area is by the road, and the hike down to the falls is short, but of considerable grade. At the end, a platform allows viewing. You can't get anywhere near the falls or take a swim, and it seems like it would be a tough area even if there weren't a thousand signs telling you not to wander off the trail, which is shared with a driveway to some private property. It certainly isn't among the best Western NC waterfalls, but it's a nice site and it's free and open to the public, so not a bad place to stop depending on one's itinerary.

I could spend days there and still come nowhere close to climbing everything within my rating. The routes and holds were varied and there were options for all levels of climbers. I'm a regular at a different gym, so this was a real treat. There is a super cool seating area on the second floor where you can watch people climb without straining your neck. For what it is, the prices are very reasonable, and they offer discounts for military, emergency responders, educators, and students. I found the staff to be helpful and professional. This would be a great place for a fun one-day experience with friends, a date, or for regular climbers looking to push themselves further. There are walls as tall as 80 feet!!

It's just so far. But I loved how spacious it was. Cultivate is much more accessible in terms of location, but it's also much smaller and so incredibly cramped. The staff at the front desk was not super helpful and friendly. The night I went, which was an LGBTQ plus night, there seemed to be less of a welcoming field, then the riveter. I also got incredibly stressed because everywhere I walked I felt like somebody was gonna hit me or fall on me. Nice equipment but still less nice then the Riveter and other places I've been.
