I've paid more at other rock climbing gyms for a fraction of what I got here. The gym itself is small but there are several paths that are challenging and exciting.

If you like the outdoors and some big rocks and cliffs, come check out this State Park. The park…read moreis one of the cooler State parks in North Carolina that I have had the pleasure of experiencing. I am a mountain type of person and I am really glad that public access has been provided to these cliffs and this Area. Rumbling Bald park host several great hiking trails through massive boulder fields and spectacular hardwood forests. The main draw for the park has to be for Bouldering and Rock Climbing. While hiking or walking through the woods in the winter/spring it is certain you'll see lots of people climbing up and down rocks. Thanks to the park staff for creating a viable parking lot for the park too. When you come here make sure to try and park as closely together as you can. It can get packed on the weekends. Also, don't double park or block anyone, or else you'll get a ticket. I really hope they access can be opened to the other cliff areas around the lake, like Ghost Town and the Darkside, which are currently closed.. 1 suggestion is to avoid this place in the summer, as it turns into a oven with the south-facing rocks, and there is poison ivy all over the place. Go enjoy the outdoor wander around some rocks.

When you reach the top the left side is the "easier" side up to the top and the right side is more stone stairs that is a shorter distance, but tougher climb. We took the left side going up and down. There are large rock areas along the way, which might make it difficult if you have mobility problems. Otherwise, it was a bit wet on the path in places, but it had rained a good bit of the day before. The whole path is a light incline the entire way up, but an easy decline on the way down. There are no sitting areas along the path when you reached the top there are two overlooked areas. The better view is the one all the way to the right there is a sign, noting the continental divide on either side of White side Mountain very cool. It was definitely worth the hike. It took us about 30 minutes to get to the top. I saw people with dogs and children a lot. It is a very family friendly activity.

We really loved this climbing gym/bike park as a family, but ultimately the price had us cancelling…read moreour membership. Staff is wonderful and helpful. Facilities are amazing! 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!

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.

This gym is great for kids and birthday parties…read more Unfortunately, I am not a kid and it's not my birthday. I climb regularly and this gym has nothing to offer me. The routes never change and the movements are boring and don't flow well. The younger staff members are very nice and knowledgeable, but once when I visited a man (staff) was belaying one of the girls on the team and he kept agtagonizing her by whipping the rope and letting her slip, even though she pleaded for him to stop. I have not observed this method of "motivating" young climbers before and it doesn't seem to be very effective. Anyway, it stopped me from asking the nice man if he would belay me too. After 5 or 6 visits to this gym over the course of 4 months, I won't be back.
