We range from very beginner (me) to an experienced competitive team climber (my kid) to in between (the others), so that wasn't an easy task. But he was encouraging yet challenged us all.

And they are a ton of fun and really enjoy sharing their passion for climbing and the Red River Gorge. Whether you are an experienced climber or a complete beginner, or are climbing on your own or with your family/friends/party, I highly recommend climbing with KRAG. My brother and I climbed with Brian (one of the co-owners) and had a blast. We didn't have all our gear but KRAG provides everything you'll need for free (shoes, harness, helmet, etc). It rained so much the day we arrived and I was worried we wouldn't be able to climb. But Brian is so knowledgable and knew where all the best spots were that stayed dry. We got to climb so many classic routes, learned new techniques, and had so much fun. Also, one thing to not overlook is KRAG's emphasis on safety. Brian and his team have loads of experience and every certification out there, and it clearly shows. It gets even better. After a day of climbing, we were so hungry and headed back to the Skybridge Station. Turns out, you can enjoy from their amazing selection of local craft beers on tap! To add, they even serve the best hot dogs and quesadillas in town (and some of the best I've ever eaten)! The guys at KRAG are awesome and are the reason our trip to Kentucky and the red river was epic. I can't wait to go again!

After not climbing for over a year, I decided to put on my climbing shoes again and check out LEF…read moreClimbing. It has a spacious interior with a variety of routes for bouldering, top rope, auto-belay, and lead climb. The walls are much taller than other gyms I've been to and make the routes much challenging. Some of the grading doesn't seem very consistent. Staff is nice. Kids and adults of all ages are welcome. It's definitely fun to experience it at least once! The day pass is currently $30 per person with all gear rentals included. No price reduction if you bring your own gear. The membership cost is hefty, $100 per month or $80 if prepay... that's close to 1K per person at a minimum. One membership bonus is that all classes are free. If I resume climbing on a regular basis, I might consider shelling out some $$.

The staff were very friendly and detailed on how to get prepared for climbing the wall with the harnesses and also the ins and outs of each level of difficulty. My son loved climbing, as this is definitely his wheelhouse, but not necessarily mine lol. There were numerous walls to climb with the ropes/harnesses utilized and other boulder walls with a harness or rope not used but with a padded flooring under the ways. There is a wall for each level of climber from beginner to seasoned. If you want to try something new or get more practice on your skills, LEF is perfect for you! We will come back soon!

He took great photos of each of us and our group. The group was small, which I loved because it never felt rushed. The colorful lights you see as you make your way through the cave are very awesome.

Still, it was absolutely one of the best things I've done.

We sent several emails with no response and called several times but no answer. I emailed them Friday, calling them out for not responding to my husband, and got a childish short hand response that we could sell them and transfer the tickets but no refunds. However they announce on their recording that they have a waitlist...so why couldn't you refund the tickets??? I can understand no refunds but when it's for a reason that is out of our control I would think they would be more understanding! Edit: if I could give a zero on their communication and attitude I would! I found someone to purchase my tickets but at an extremely discounted price from what I paid. I understand NO refunds but a little heart about us being transferred for work would have gone a long ways seeing they have a waitlist and would still be able to keep their money, but what they don't tell you is they charge on top of what you your loosing selling them to someone else is there is a $10 transfer fee to put the tickets into someone else's name! Very unprofessional and sad company taking advantage of people!

As a University of Kentucky student myself this recreational center is a great space to be at and…read morevery accessible with their open hours. The gym has loads of equipment for all different types of training like free weights, treadmills, machines, and is spaced out fairly well. The only downside with the gym is sometimes it will get too busy and there will be a wait time for machines, but there's loads of different variations if you need them, other than that it is amazing. The recreational center has more than the gym itself, it also has exercise class rooms like cycling and zumba, multiple basketball courts, an indoor track, and even a rock climbing wall with staff to help newcomers. Overall this center has something for everyone and I have personally loved my experiences here. I would positively recommend this space to anyone looking to meet new people or just fill time in your day.

It's a great way to get my head off the stresses from school and meet new people who have similar interests to myself. The faculty have all been nice from what I've seen and interacted with. It's mostly college students here at Kentucky. Most of the negative online reviews focus on the gym's layout, which is next to the basketball courts, and I would have to agree that this is probably the gym's weakest point. I don't like that there are two floors to the gym and that it is so crowded. But if you go at the right time, I'm sure it's similar to every gym. Other than that, there aren't many negative things I could say about it. I've enjoyed my experiences so far and plan to keep going to the Johnson Center in the future.

We also met some of the other RRCG guides who were working with other groups nearby - they also seemed excellent. RRCG seems to be set up to work with a wide range of skill levels, which is fantastic - we weren't looking for basics, we wanted to transition to climbing outdoors, and the class definitely increased our comfort level with that. We got to do some fun climbs and learn some new skills, and Ian gave us some solid gear recommendations for the future. I think they're a pretty small company, and you can book online which is great! I'd highly recommend them to anyone interested in climbing. I just wish we'd signed up for a full day.
