This was one of my first times climbing and the experience and workers here were really great. They have trainings to teach everyone safety and how to belay a partner. The facility is HUGE with a ton of rope climbing options for belaying as well as the auto belays that don't require a partner. They also have a smaller bouldering section that was pretty difficult. read more

This is a cool spot in West Nashville for climbers of all levels! My husband and I recently signed up for monthly memberships, and we've loved stopping in for a climb a few times a week. Bonus - there's lots of free parking nearby! If you're a beginner (or even if you're an experienced climber in need of a refresh), there's plenty of instruction time during your first official visit. A team member will walk you through the ins and outs of climbing - from how to clip in with a carabiner to how to safely belay for a partner. There are plenty of auto-belays available on the second floor if you're climbing solo, and several traditional top rope courses on the first floor if you have a climbing partner. This facility even offers fitness and yoga classes as another membership perk. Climb is a very family-friendly establishment, and it's great to see so many young kids excited about climbing. Some of these kids are even better climbers than experienced adults! That said, I would love to see an adults-only night every so often ... even once a month would be great. The gym can get pretty busy during peak times, so you may have to wait a bit for the route you'd like to climb. It's unclear how often they change up the routes, but there's also something to be said about taking another stab at a familiar route and trying to improve your climb. So far our interactions with the staff have been helpful and friendly, and they even offer discounts for members looking to buy their own gear! read more

A fun, family-friendly climbing facility. No need to tie a double figure 8 for top ropes they have a clip in system like you would for auto belays. They have a ton of autobelays on the 2nd floor with half height walls. And a decent amount of fun top rope routes on the main floor. They have a bouldering wall and a wall for lead climbers with gradual overhang practice. There's not much in terms of slabs in this gym. The handholds were pretty smooth in terms of wear due to seeing a bunch of use. Staff seemed friendly when giving the initial orientation to us and where everything was in the gym. The certification process took about a minute at most due to their clip in system. Lots of smaller kids are mostly the autobelay area. A staffer seemed to be roaming about at all times to check for safety. Overall, it was a fun new experience, and I would go back, but maybe not at the New years time when it seemed a bit too crowded. Very family-friendly oriented so i recommend that if you have kids that need to burn energy, take them here. read more

Went around 2018. Walls are really tall and fun. The type of climbing changed the further you go up the wall, which is cool. Grades are 1 or 2 levels easier than my gym. This gym has carabiners permanently attached to the top ropes that you clip to your harness, then your belayer uses their own belay device. I was sketched out by some of their top ropes, though. They were so old and worn that the length right above the carabiner had turned black and was stretched out to half the width of the rest of the rope. Maybe core shot. :/ This was 2018. Hopefully they are better now. read more

Great facility! Super helpful staff, nice community. Great pricing! Totally recommend.

I haven't even climbed here yet, but wanted to go ahead and leave a review for their customer service. I'm new to the area but used to climb (mostly bouldering) in the state I moved from. I've made new friends here and talked a friend into signing up for the belay class with me so we could become climbing buddies here. In between class availability, her work schedule, and my own work schedule, we booked this about 2 months out. Today is 3 days from day 1 of the 2 day class and I just found out I need surgery that will render me unable to climb for about 3-4 months. I called to see if there was any way to reschedule or refund until I'm able to do it and Allie was SO understanding: there was not a single hesitation as she processed the refund and wished me a speedy recovery. Customer service seems to be a dying art at times, so I greatly appreciate the understanding and support. Looking forward to climbing here once I'm all better! read more

Great gym, terrible music! Just play the hits folks! We don't want to hear Japanese animation metal. All the other Climb gyms get it right. You can hear the music and still climb at East and Kraft! It is cool music too! Sometimes it's techno, sometimes its rock but it makes you want to have fun! For whatever reason though, the music at Climb West is either barely audible or blasting so loud that you have to yell to hear the person next to you. We, your customers, don't like esoteric french folk music, even when you're about to close! Just play the hits! We don't even care from which decade! We don't want to hear that fusion jazz Vampire Weekend song that plays every hour. Just play the hits! There are thousands of them. All the members complain that you can't get the music right. Music makes a big difference to the vibe and we'll love you for it! Please!!! read more

One of our favorite places to come. We come here especially on rainy days. It's easy to find off of Clarksville rd parking is small but we never have a hard time finding parking spot read more

Despite the high monthly price there is no basic functioning exercise equipment. Somehow consistently there are no treadmills and 30-50% of other equipment are broken. Similarly the ropes are quite old. You can tell because they feel soft like an old used tshirt. As a climbing gym it is good as an option compared to no option but pales in comparison to gyms in other cities on multiple levels (classes, community, hold setting, hours) at the same price. read more

Wildly expensive They regularly rope off sections during prime hours for kids or clubs, who I'm pretty sure don't pay more than I do. Whole sections are unavailable for weeks due to competitions. So you pay $90/month to get treated like a second class citizen They let large groups in sometimes who climb in street shoes, going in and out of the bathroom and spreading pee and poop all over the handholds Employees are great but it's not their choice - it's management read more

Upstairs comp style bouldering is open and super fun, great top rope climbing, great route setters. Spacious and clean, great weight room. Excellent staff, super helpful. Wish less people liked climbing because I want this gym all to myself muahahahha. read more

You guys need to train your staff better on your in house policies. I called in to put my account on hold months ago to take a break from the gym and the staff member just asked my name and said he'd take care of it. Apparently you have to go online to do it but that was not communicated as it should've been. There was then months of accruing charges after that. Fast forward a few months and it became a whole annoying to do contacting people all the way up to the GM and paying money i shouldnt have had to in order to get my account back in good order so I could climb again. If I didn't climb here with friends, I'd be going to the Crag instead due to this B.S. read more

This place is great. The walls are 55 ft and 35ft and provide a great challenge for my pre-teen and teen boys as well as myself. I would have given them 5 stars however the bouldering wall was restricted to 13 and above. My 12 year old has been climbing for 5 years and is very aware how to boulder. I would love to see them allow him to boulder rather than just excluding him. We will not be returning to climb until he is 13 so he can boulder next time we go. read more

This gym has a lot to offer. Lead climbing, auto belays, too ropes and bouldering. They even have a cardio area and two workout rooms. The only bad thing is parking is terrible. They really need to work on parking especially as this place grows in popularity read more

This might not be a completely fair review, but it was our experience. My children are really into climbing and we were in Nashville for some family business and had some time to kill. They brought their climbing bags with them, so we headed over to climb. We asked how many auto-belays when we got there because we weren't certified to belay at their gym. The employee replied 17. That was great and would give us plenty to do for the few hours we'd be there. The problem came with their summer camp group. The camp kids were fine, but they closed the entire upper level, which left us with about 6 or 7 auto-belays. So the 17 went down to 7 and we had to share with camp kids. We regularly had to wait in line while the up stairs sat mostly empty with 10 or so kids doing an obstacle course. Again, we'll be back. I like the gym, but I'll make sure there is no camp groups there. read more

Great climbing and enjoyed our time here; however, staff member Jimmy plays violin and customers. He was rude to our group without any reason. read more

My daughter and I had a great time at the gym. Both times we visited, the staff were pleasant and were very helpful in showing us how to use the ropes and equipment. The place was clean and you could see staff replacing or maintaining the hand/footholds on the rock faces. The staff on the floor were attentive and appropriately assertive in making sure we used the equipment correctly. The place is airy. Also, the music is at a reasonable volume and not too loud, which I really appreciate and can be a non-starter for me. Beware of false pricing advertised on one of their two websites. I searched for their gym by name and went through its features and membership options. When I got to the gym, they charged me $5 more per month and for initiation fee. I emailed to Corporate the page I relied on, and their Head Indoor Guide for Members replied he would not honor the price because the website was replaced four months ago. It sure fooled me; it looks live to me even as of today, and I'm still able to click through to the place I bought my day pass from. So I will watch out in the future. read more

What a fun place! Awesome facility. Tall walls. Lots of variety in skill level (though I think they could use a couple more lower levels ones like 5.5-5.7 that aren't on auto belay) The staff here is super nice, chill, and very helpful. Decent prices... and you're able to rent their gear in case you're not hardcore and don't have your own! There is a workout room, so just in case you don't work your ass off scaling the walls, you can torture yourself even more in there! Also...showers! Not only do they have showers, but they provide towels, which is a godsend so you don't have to lug that around with you. read more

Would give zero stars if I could. The summer camp staff have kicked me out of the workout room during the only time that I can come to the gym about a dozen times now, and they were extremely rude about it. Was told it wasn't an option and that I had to leave so that the kids could use the full room. I'm paying full membership prices ($70-90/month) just for limited use of the facilities and extremely rude staff. I asked to cancel my membership about a week or 2 before the end of June, but they told me it was too late and that I would have to pay for July too. Incredibly disappointed and I wish I had gotten a membership at a different climbing gym or a normal gym instead. read more

Great route-setting. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Lots of chill, friendly climbers around: great atmosphere for days you want to socialize and days you want to pop in headphones and keep to yourself. Membership here has been a big bright spot for me in the last year and a half. Appreciate you all! read more

When it comes to vacations, we prefer experiences over food, and this was definitely a great one! My cousin brought my husband and me here for rock climbing. As beginners this place offered a great variety of options for climbers of all levels. They have 3 stories and offer top roping and bouldering. Overall a friendly group of people that are respectful and don't hog any areas. As far as our pride... There were kids that schooled us! But we definitely loved the family friendly environment! I can't say much about the pricing as we got in free on our cousin's membership. Overall great experience! You should definitely make this stop if you enjoy a good challenging experience. read more

I have mixed feeling about this place and do my best to articulate them clearly. It probably helps that it's too early in the day to drink...so here we go. Facility - overall a nice sized facility with a wide variety of pitches. Even on busy days, there's enough room to climb without having to wait for others to finish. There's a 2nd level with simpler pitches that are good for beginners or little ones. Let me warn you that you are immediately hit with the overwhelming smell of stinky feet the minute you walk into the place. I mean...whoa! Outside of the assault on your olfactory senses, the facility is clean and tidy. Equipment - the rental equipment isn't refreshed that often it appears and every time we've gone the equipment was clearly well used and marginally maintained. Staff - very hit or miss. Unfortunately, I've most often been met with the proverbial disenchanted millennial who makes you feel like you're sucking the life out of them just by being there. Biggest BS Factor - The $15 "belay lesson" is a total rip off. The lesson consist of one of the aforementioned disenchanted staffers trudging upstairs with you to show you how to pass the rope through the belay device and keeping the slack out. That's it - congrats, your done, now go conquer Yosemite. To my knowledge this is 1 of 3 indoor facilities in the greate Nashville area and I'll be trying the others to compare and will update. read more

First item of business, I'm brand new to climbing. My buddy does it everyday and I finally went one morning...2 days later I got a membership. So, keep in mind that I've only been to this location and the Climb East location when I say THIS PLACE IS FREAKING AWESOME. Even without a comparison gym, I'd have to imagine that I've got to be lucky to live in a town with such an great place for both newbies like me and pros (like everyone else in this gym...I mean my God...Olympics much?!?) Highly recommend to anyone wanting to give it a shot. And even though the one employee thinks my name is Eric, he has sure made an effort to say "hey eric" every time he sees me. I don't have the heart to tell him otherwise, but the fact that the staff even cares enough to make an effort is a big deal to me. Side note, I took my girlfriend there for Valentine's Day (her Idea actually) and she's a member now as well. So aside from the gym being awesome all around, it's a great place to take your relationship to new heights. And, thanks to the auto-belays, you can fall for each other over and over again. (Really hope you guys see what I did there). read more

I had one dream as a fat child, and that was to climb a tree. My friends when I was a wee little one would scamper up trees like monkeys and I would stand looking at the tree never understanding how this was to be. I settled back then for climbing very lame trees and getting about as high off the ground as I could safely jump. I put the dream of climbing away fairly early on as I became a very heavy child very quickly after I started biking everywhere - much of my fat was replaced by leg muscle, but no upper body strength and the dream of reaching up and grabbing something and pulling my weight up was gone. Cut to a bit ago - I discover Climb Nashville... the odd thing is I had a class here years ago in Improv back when this was a bunch of recording studios. I'd forgotten this is where that dream started. I thought this was now where my climbing dream would die again. See, although I am older and much more fit, I have a random fear of heights... as in, I don't know why it kicks in some times. I can be looking at a 3 story drop and not thinking much of it but a fall of 10 feet might kick me into alarm mode. I don't know why this is or what the deal is, but when it hits I usually find my rational mind wondering why in the world my illogical fear response is going mental over something minimal and containable. I saw a wall of more than 20 feet high and I knew immediately this had all the required factors to set my fear off. I went before my wife did, I held tight, climbed the baby wall, and got about 4 feet from the top and realized I was not particularly afraid, however I wanted to klnow before I went any higher how one got down. I looked down at the belayer and said I think I would like to come down now. He mentioned that it was just a couple more feet to the top, I said yes, I can see that but I would like to reach the bottom now. He left me down easy, I let my first climb sort of sit and watched Kim Y haul up the wall and go down. Took a break, and did it again... I think the second one I failed on as I just ran out of juice (was having remnants of a sinus infection working on killing me) - third wall was harder, higher, and I did it. Beat my 4th and 5th attempts, try 6 my body let me know I was done - the belayer asked if I wanted to just hang there and rest and I told her that was not going to help. I stopped, grabbed a drink and rested for what seemed like an eternity... I was actively looking forward to climbing some more. Did another wall, fizzled, did one more and rocked it and by that point I was totally shot. My fear of heights never really manifested, my arms I discovered were more than adequate to handle me (you do most of your lifting with your legs) on most of the walls I tried. I'm pretty sure some of the walls that come out over you need a lot more arm power, but I actually feel confident that I will tackle them next time. Maybe that's because when you let go you don't fall, you just sort of hang there, and the harnesses you're in don't give you the world's worst wedgie but are in fact very comfy - you can really just hang there if you need to without feeling like you're on anything worse than say a backyard swing. This wasn't exactly the tree climbing I dreamed about as a kid, but it's satisfied that childhood dream in a different fashion, and I'm so glad I found it... I never would have assumed I would like this in the least. As soon as I'm completely over winter sickness #3 I am back there like it owed me money. read more

Clearly, I am a massive fan of Climb Nashville as I am (yet again) giving them the coveted 5 Yelp star review. However, I wanted to clarify that this update is based off of their yoga and other class offerings. Don't count out Climb Nashville if you aren't into climbing... I attended the 7am yoga class (free class due to National Yoga Month promotion) and was impressed with the layout of the class as it was on the mezzanine overlooking the entire gym. Very cool. The yoga instructors are brought in by Sanctuary Yoga so you know that you are learning the practice from someone well-qualified. While I was waiting for to get started, I watched what appeared to be a circuit class hustle and skyrocket their heart rate. Although, it looked intense... I am totally curious to try it! Climb Nashville also offers core conditioning, circuit, and kick boxing classes, along with personal training too. Who would have thunk, eh? Classes are free to Climb Nashville members who opt for a 1-12 month membership or can be purchased individually for around $15 per class. read more

We stopped in here to check out the facilities and get the low down on local climbing crags in the area, as we were visiting from out of town. This a pretty sweet climbing gym. I love the height they have for their walls and the fact that the 'learning' or kiddy area is up and away from the main climbing area. They also have a weight room, cardio area and yoga space. Note this is all included in your membership, as well as use of the other gym in East Nashville. The bathroom space was also nice and very clean with more than one shower for those who like to get in a little work out before work or other events. The staff was super approachable and were happy to talk with us awhile about all the close by local spots to climb outside. It felt very welcoming there and I'd certainly be a member if I lived in town. read more

My friend asked me to come out for one of Lightning 100's Team Green Climb Nashville events and boy was I glad I did. At first it was scary. You trust your friends, right? Well do you trust them enough to be your anchor? Thankfully I was with someone I did. Of course I didn't realize this until I had climbed to the top and was hanging from the ceiling about to rappel down. Anyway, the staff was the perfect teachers. They make sure to hammer in the important stuff and watch you until you are good enough to be let loose in the climb Nashville gym. After mostly novice climbs we hit the center, rope free climbs. Wow, I knew my upper body was weak but until the first attempt up the rock did I realize how incredibly weak I am. By that point it wasn't even about fun anymore, it was about pride!!! I had to get across this rock, even if it was only 6 little holdy things!!! See, this is was Climb Nashville does to you. You either love it or hate it, but I honestly think if you are the type of person to try something like that, or even think about trying something like that, then you will love it! read more

What I loved about Climb Nashville: great walls, good routes, Ok prices, great atmosphere and awesome bouldering routes. My husband, my 6 year old daughter and I LOVE rock climbing and we had a lot of fun! What I did not like was, first off, when we first checked in we told the staff person my daughters age (6). We paid and went on about our business. THEN, 3 HOURS into our climbing fun, another staff member comes by and tells me my daughter cannot be on the boulder routes (even though she was doing better than some and I was right behind her watching her every move)... but OK, moving on. I then take her back to the wall (auto-belay), I clip her in and she did her thing. Halfway up the route this chick comes up and tells me my daughter can't climb! Now I'm pissed, I call my husband over and then she explains to him that my daughter can't use the auto-belay (we had to belay her). I'm not mad about them having rules. I was mostly upset that we were not told the rules and regulations BEFORE we paid. I would love to come back again with my husband, but with their highly strict rules against children bouldering or climbing (with adult supervision), we will most likely not go back (unless we find a babysitter, but that is unlikely). It would be nice if the staff informed you of their rules and such before you pay. read more

I can understand why so many people just give this place 5 stars for the wow effect. Yes it is pretty awesome with a good staff, large amount of climbing options, and combination gym and yoga... YES... this will offer you hours of endless energetic and clean fun. However... I'm giving this place 4 stars because it hits two of my pet peeves... The entire place (especially the Yoga place) smells essentially like feet. ALSO... the staff is super friendly... but they don't exactly exude the up-most confidence. At the ones I dealt with. I DON'T mean with the safety side of the house... but every time I go someone doesn't know how to operate some system or the instruction seems as if the person just started being a professional (despite years of amateur time). read more

IF YOU WANT A PLACE TO CLIMB, LOOK NO FURTHER! I have had a membership here for a few weeks now. There are no negatives to this gym! The bouldering routes are challenging yet fun, the top rope routes offer a wide variety of skill challenges and difficulty, the yoga is highly engaging and restorative, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I have not used the fitness facility yet, but it looks to have all sorts of equipment that a full workout could require, including Rouge equipment. I am a student, so I pay the student membership price. That being said, I entirely believe it is well worth the price as long as you take advantage of the membership benefits. read more

I officially fet like I lived in a cool city when I walked into Climb Nashville. Located near the opera and ballet, it's a mish-mash of cultural clashes in the parking lot. Once inside, you really can't describe the massive climbing walls all around the place. It's the roller rink on steroids of 2011 and beyond. The place was scattered with everyone from 7-year old girls climbing on the right and 50-year old men climbing on the left. It's obviously popular and well-maintained. While I'm not one to climb anything, if you are, knock yourself out. read more

Climb Nashville West is an elitist climbing gym. The only easier routes are auto belays so definitely not a great place to take beginners. I've been climbing here for 12 years. I asked route setters about putting up easier routes and their answer was to take one of the remaining 5-8s down and put up a 10+ in its place. Really guys? I brought a friend to share climbing with and she's never come back. Do better. read more

This facility is quite nice compare to others that I have been to in the Dallas,TX and Temecula,CA area with my school-aged kids: Taller walls More climbing walls, along with more auto-belay for beginner climbers Helpful staff (and more staff) They are good about changing out your shoes if they don't fit/work Sounds like the East Nashville location is quite a bit smaller. Here at the West Nashville location, I haven't used the weight room or showers, but people seem to like those. It gets crowded on the weekends, but you don't usually have to wait longer than a few minutes for any wall. read more

I recently came here because it was raining and we couldn't go outside so we wanted to climb on higher walls. I was super bummed out to find out you had to schedule a lead test to lead in the gym. I know that not everyone can lead but this is what we came to do and none of the about 7 employees working could test us out. When we first walked in the front desk staff wasn't the nicest, and when we asked about leading the guy completely shut us down. Later on we saw those same employees checking us in leading themselves. Kind of confusing as to why they can lead but couldn't test us out. After a year of COVID all the employees are still patrolling the floors enforcing the strict mask policy. Me and my friends felt as if we would get yelled at for taking our masks off to take a drink of water. read more

Never really climbed heavily until finding this place! This is such an amazing spot filled with the best staff who is so helpful! From belaying to auto belaying and slack lining and bouldering I can spend hours at this spot! If I lived in Nashville I would be here every night. I highly recommend this place for a fun night with friends, large groups or even coming solo. They keep their place extremely clean. read more

I moved to Nashville last July, and I did my research before on the climbing scene here. It was clear Climb Nashville was the best decision! With fair membership pricing, they offer climbing (top rope, auto belays, lead, and bouldering), cardio equipment, free weights, and various other workout equipment. Not to mention different workout class options including HIIT and Yoga! The membership includes access to the Climb West, East, and Murfreesboro locations. The staff is so friendly and greets you by name every time you come back. Right now, during this time of social distancing, they've unfortunately had to close their doors. However, they are going the extra mile by continuing to live stream workout classes on Facebook live to help their members and even nonmembers get in that at home workout. I have been a member going on 10 months now at Climb, and I am continually impressed with the efforts they put in to keeping all members and customers happy and healthy!! Climb is more than a gym-- it's a community for sure! read more

Climb Nashville - Auto Belay Route - Climbing Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I went rock climbing with my girlfriend at Climb Nashville last weekend. We are by no means expert climbers but thankfully the gym is designed for all skill levels! The staff was extremely friendly and after quite a long waiver agreement, we were given a tour of the gym. There are a lot of top rope routes with auto belay systems. There are also grigri partner belay systems. The difficulty of the top rope routes ranges from 5.5 all the way to 5.12. We had a blast climbing for about 4 hours and enjoyed all the equipment available at the gym. Excellent service and definitely coming back! read more

Pros- Huge gym, lots of routes, and lots of long routes. They have lots of autobelays throughout the gym so you can climb solo. Prices aren't bad. Cons- you have to pay $15 to get signed off to belay?! That's a load of crap. Also, the top ropes are already tied into carabiners which seems unsafe to me (an extra link in the chain that can break). I'm used to tying directly into a top rope but that's not how it's done here. Lastly, there were a ton of kids running around which was cool to see a bunch of kids getting into climbing, but it also made me nervous to have them climbing directly under me on a route as they were always oblivious to their surroundings. Will I go back? Maybe. I miss my gyms in Colorado though. read more

This was an absolutely terrible experience. If I could give a zero I would. It was my first time climbing and the so called "trainer" named Dane who was suppose to show me how to use the equipment was so interested in other two guys near us that he left me hanging (LITERALLY) on my first climb ever and walked off with the two dudes! All while I tried to figure out how to fall and climb down! And when I finally found this Dane in another room and asked him why he walked away in the middle of the training intro, all I got in return was a laugh! And the other three people at the front were no better! The chick who was suppose to take my shoes back was on her phone the whole time and ignored me. I could easily just walk out with the shoes on, she wouldn't care. Oh and the girl at the front desk was clipping her nails and collecting them on that front desk when I walked in... NASTY! I could survive the nasty smell and the grossness and rudeness of the front desk staff but that "trainer" Dane and his judgement because I was new - yeah, that's a hard No for me. The worst gym experience I have ever gotten. Hire better staff. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

I came to Climb Nashville from out of town for bouldering. The bouldering section isn't the largest but the gym also wasn't very crowded until about six so it wasn't a huge issue. It's a very nice facility though. The rental shoes seem hit and miss. My shoes were decent but not long for this world, while my friend's were brand new. The routes were good; I saw a interesting hold or two I hadn't seen elsewhere. I like how the wall starts below the floor, which makes the highest drop not very high. So no crash odd necessary. Really unique though was the ungraded section of the bouldering wall. It seems like they leave the routes ungraded when they first set them and then come back a week later and put the grades. Great idea! Sometimes I psyche myself out of routes based on the grading, so this was an awesome experience. read more
