A heads up from the get-go, this is not a rope-based climbing gym. They're in a warehouse without…read morehigh ceilings so top rope and course setting including clip-in points is not a thing here. 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 entered Park with no problems And paid the entrance fee which covers the elevator ride to the top exiting into the gift store. We then climbed to forty steps up to the rock.

The top of this 315-foot high 'gneiss monolith' is accessible to visitors via either a winding series of stairs or a convenient elevator, depending on your stamina level. But regardless of how you ascend, the spectacular view from the summit is well worth the time and effort. Hurricane Helene caused significant damage to the park and to the river valley below, which still looked like a scar across the landscape when we visited 15 months later. Still, many of the hikes, including the Four Seasons trail, from the lower parking lot to the base of Chimney Rock, have been reopened and are well worth exploring if you have the time. One highly recommended adventure is the 1.5-mile (round-trip) Hickory Nut Trail, which leads to the base of one of the tallest waterfalls east of the Mississippi. Movie buffs will recognize the falls from the 1992 film 'Last of the Mohicans,' a portion of which was filmed here. Adult admission to the park is $17 for the day, and passes can be booked online in advance. There are gift shops, snacks and facilities available at multiple locations, including both the upper and lower lots and near the summit of Chimney Rock. Yes, it's an expensive outing, so try to take advantage of the many trails and sights this expansive park has to offer. We made a fairly quick stop on our recent trip, but plan on coming back next summer to hike to the base of Hickory Nut Falls and explore the Skyline Trail along the top of the ridgeline. After you leave the park, be sure to spend some time visiting the shops and restaurants in the Town of Chimney Rock, just across the Broad River. Devastated by Helene, this resilient community is still recovering, and tourist dollars are an essential lifeline. No visit to the North Carolina mountains is complete with a stop at Chimney Rock State Park. It's an unforgettable experience in one of America's most scenic regions, and a special place that you'll want to come back to again and again.

My 18 year old and I decided to try a guided climbing experience while in town. What an outstanding…read moreexperience we had with our guide, Pete! From our first phone call to book our climbing adventure to the minute we left the parking lot at the trailhead, Pisgah Climbing was professional, prompt, attentive, safe and super fun. Our guide was quick to figure out our skill and knowledge level in order to customize our climbing so that we felt adequately challenged but not in over our heads. One of us was more capable than the other and yet we still each were given a chance to try different pitches, and even repel! Having a guide that was informed about the local area, wildlife, (brought bug repellent for chiggers, which we didn't know about), and made it easy for us to meet up and get to the trailhead made all the difference. The equipment they use is well maintained and this guide was highly skilled. He was a good teacher/coach too. An excellent guide can read people and make smart, quick decisions based on conversation to build trust quickly with the participants. We had not one iota of doubt in our guide. This was pricey for us, but worth every bit of the cost.

We have climbed both abroad and in the US with several guides.
