    The climbing area is fantastic and they also have a separate gym! The staff is really friendly and helpful.

    That's absolutely true, but I would add that it's the best value in Charlottesville--monthly membership is under $50.

    I have been going to triangle for almost 2 years and it pains me to leave a one star review. But I…read morehad to cancel my membership for some non-negotiables. Pros: - The staff: They are pleasant, knowledgeable about climbing, and a joy to be around. - Climbing: Engaging, and I love the routes they come up with. - Community: Great people, and truly what I'll miss most. Cons: - Filth: There is no regular professional cleaning service and the grime continues to be ignored. It has built up to a point I cannot justify paying the exorbitant price. -- There have been small black bugs in the spa shower since July 2025, and I have notified staff several times. They have multiplied in this time. Picture/video attached. -- There is black mold in both the steam room and sauna. I have notified staff several times. I go to the steam and sauna for my asthma, but it only makes it worse at Triangle. Pictures attached. -- For those that aren't spa-goers, it may disgust you to learn that triangle staff, after acknolwedging the aforementioned points, said the nastiest thing in the gym is the rock holds. -- The turf in the weight room is sticky in parts and matted down with conglomerated sweat. - Unresponsive: I brought up issues many times with staff, but the cleanliness never gets addressed. It took over a year of multiple members complaining about urine stains and smells in the mens bathroom for them to simply add an air freshener and smell-reducing pad to the toilets. -- I do NOT expect your desk staff to clean the whole facility. This requires a competent professional service. -- A response from triangle to a prior review from a month ago mentioned a professional crew within "the coming week or so." There has been no change, not in the last month, not in the last 2 years. - Pricing: I originally paid the individual membership price of $89 a month. When my roommates discovered the group plan we were told it would be $39 each for 3 members. Seemed too good to be true but we were reassured. Online, 3 members should amount to $197 ($66 each). Turns out we were charged $267 ($89 each) per month of our group membership. Triangle has not returned any of our contact about this overcharging and it is beginning to feel predatory. So, Triangle, I implore you to: 1. Clean your entire facility. It's embarrassing. 2. Provide straightforward pricing for memberships and make sure all staff are trained in this before they sign people up. 3. Respond to your members concerns. We want to keep being a part of Triangle. Thank you, and I would be elated to see these changes and revise my review to reflect them.

My friend and I had a really good time and the staff seemed nice although we didn't get to interact too much. We only did auto belay routes, but next time I'd love to have someone belay and do different routes! I'll definitely come again!

Also the…read morebathrooms are a mile away from the actual gym (have to exit and walk down 3 different hallwas) and are a little dark/dingy. Plenty of parking, friendly staff, and most importantly - to me - good quality problems that you can spend a couple hours on. I don't like the color/circuit grading (prefer V scale) but the climbs themselves are good.

The grading system here is pretty fair. Found most of the grades to be very accurate to the V scale that they use. They have plenty of routes on Top Rope and Bouldering for all skill levels, and also have a long comp wall as well! With a variety of holds on slab, caves and overhang, you can definitely gets some miles in at this gym. some of the walls here are kind of high from what I'm used too, so it was a little scary getting to the top. The gym is also clean and very spacious. Plenty of walls to go around so peak hours shouldn't be so bad. I haven't experienced it since I'm not from the area, but the space is huge. Overall, a very nice gym. Clean, spacious and accurate grades. Definitely recommend this climbing gym!

    Wow! This is an amazing, once in a lifetime experience! It was my first via ferrata and I had an…read moreamazing time. There were 8 of us on a beautiful weekday afternoon in October with our guide, Andrei. First, huge shoutout to Andrei. He was funny and energetic, but he also kept an eye on me because I have a fear of heights. He would magically appear in the difficult sections and talk me through them. He was encouraging without being condescending, and he was really empathetic. I didn't feel like a burden to the group and I had an excellent time. He deserves all good things in life! What to bring- they require you to bring at least a liter of water so bring a small bag and add some snacks too. If you have a camel back or another bag with a water bladder that will be your best bet, because there are only a couple opportunities to take a water bottle out of your bag. Also, buy some sort of strap for your phone beforehand or you won't be able to take photos or videos. Is it hard? I don't think it's that physically challenging, although it might help if you have been rock climbing before, even if it's just in a gym. I think everyone found some section emotionally challenging, whether it was the head wall, the bridge, or the whole thing like me lol. It's definitely doable for the average person! There are also a couple places to get off if it's too much for you. This was incredible, amazing, fantastic- just so cool! Go, you won't regret it!

    We had the absolute most amazing time with Lester! He was a wonderful tour guide and also taught us…read moremuch more about caves than we expected to learn. He taught us how to safely spot or catch someone in front of us if they're falling back, he taught us the different whistle signals used, and how to use a compass! I had no idea that I didn't even know how to use a compass in the first place. Once he navigated us about halfway to our ending point, he had one of us navigate the rest of the way using the cave map and our compass, and then had us switch on the way back (there were 2 of us). We had never caved before, but he saw that we are the active type, so he not only led us horizontally through spaces, but we also got to go vertical and climb up and down spaces. I couldn't stop raving about our experience afterwards. This tops the list of most exciting things I've ever done, and most unique as well because I can't say I know anyone else who has ever done caving. On our way home, we stopped by Luray Caverns and it was really cool walking through with newfound appreciation. We were able to point out things and appreciate how it was formed in ways we never would have beforehand. The only issue is we wished we could have strayed off the beaten path and explore more nooks and crannies the public doesn't get to see! If you're questioning whether to book a tour with Wild Guyde, I would without a doubt recommend it. If you think you might get claustrophic, I had the same fear going into this, but the cave is very open and even when you're crawling you still have plenty space around you that you don't feel trapped. Plus, you don't have to do anything you don't want to or feel comfortable with! I promise you won't regret it.
