My 10 year old twin boys love it here!!! We feel welcome every time we walk through the door! All the employees have been very patient with them and are always available for questions or if we need anything! An amazing place to climb, work on your bouldering skills, and burn some energy on the days going outside is too cold or too rainy!!

I USUALLY love to climb at High Point, but NOT TODAY. 2 of the 6 solo climbs were for professionals with an easy climb at 5.10 rating. I was able to get to the top, but it wasn’t fun. There was only 1 other solo climb available, and there was a mother and son using that one. 3 were being changed out and unused at the same time. It would have been respectful to have left 1 of those free to climb. I’m only able to climb 2-4 times per month. The assumption of my contract is that there will always be walls that I can climb. High Point Birmingham, you failed me today.

High point climbing is the best climbing gym that I’ve been to by far. Their lead & top rope offer challenging routes that are also fun. The bouldering always seems to be exactly what I’m looking for. If you’re looking for a great workout & meeting some fun people (members & staff alike), I highly recommend trying this place out!

First timer here and it was great. We took our kids who are 13 and 7 and they had a blast. It wasn’t busy at all, so they got to climb everything they wanted to. I was worried our 7 yr old girl wouldn’t be able to climb but they have a lot of options for the little ones in the kid zone. She didn’t have any issues. The employees working were super helpful and made sure we didn’t have any questions. We will definitely be back.

Just visiting from out of the country. I was rather surprised by the quality of the gym. Not many people in the early afternoon on Tuesday. Most of the climbers there were also employees.

We booked a party for my daughter’s birthday. It was 79 degrees in the private party room and they refused to turn the air down. We asked the staff multiple times and were told no. We asked the person in charge of our party and he said he wasn’t allowed to adjust the thermostat. The icing literally melted off our cupcakes.. It was miserable and we opted to leave an hour early. We’ll never book another party here and wouldn’t recommend anyone else booking one either..

Great climbing gym. Wish I lived closer to go back all the time. Definitely have to be belay certified (free to get certified with them) in order to make this worth it though as most courses are belay. Staff was great to get my husband and myself certified and quickly. There were lots of kids around but mostly stayed to the kids area. The kids area looked a lot of fun and was cool to have their separate area as to avoid potential injury with all the adults climbing. Bouldering was fun too. Definitely worth trying out.

Poor Customer Service. Ugly Interior Design. Bad Lighting.

The staff member who checked us in didn't bother to look at us at all while she was talking. The design and color palette of this climbing gym leaves a lot to be desired.

This place smells and looks filthy. Some holds are white with chalk, and you can't tell what route they belong to. They have also just upped their prices with no noticable improvements in over a year. Tons of children, and it gets very crowded. NOT WORTH THE MONEY! Just go to Birmingham boulders.

In the past, one of the managers was rude to my family because they didn't respond fast enough when she asked how she could help. Overheard her talking to her coworker about us and how she was frustrated.

Clean facility with a decent amount of top rope stations and high walls. I love that there are separate bouldering and kids areas so that everyone has their space and climbs safe. My only complaint is how the top ropes are set up. Some of them are very difficult or even impossible to take slack out of as the climber ascends and difficult to lower the climber when finished. We gave up on a few routes because it was just too much work trying to belay. My workout should come from the climb not belaying my partner.

High Point is the best climbing gym in Birmingham. Their facility is world class and they have everything you could ever want as a beginner, or an advanced climber. Moon board, boulder, ropes, lead climbing, a full gym, spray wall, hang boards, and campus board. They have it all! This gym is a wonderful place and is set up well for kids, climbers, and people who just want to have a fun afternoon trying something new. I cannot recommend this facility enough. If you spend any time traveling around south east, they also have locations all over which you can climb at if you have a membership.

Need to pay attention to the fine print. I signed My son and was told I can freeze at any point and even called the facility to get help on how to freeze account.

I was considering freeze or cancel. If I known they still charged a fee to hold the membership I would have cancelled. Went ahead and cancelled it right away.

High Point is one of three rock climbing gym and the only top rope gym in Birmingham, which is why it is so sad that their systems pose a safety risk for kids.

The biggest thing that bothers me about this gym is their use of tightened adult harnesses on children. Kids have a higher center of gravity and most kids under five/under 80 lbs should be in full body harnesses so they don’t flip upside down. I’ve seen so many small children in adult harnesses with the extra material flapping around or tucked in. Every other gym I’ve been to has appropriately sized full body harnesses to rent out for the kids. Come on High Point! As all the posters say, climbing is inherently dangerous. This means that you should take every precaution to mitigate the risk.

Otherwise, the top rope setting is decent but there can be a wide variation in grades that can get frustrating when trying to train using a pyramid approach. The bouldering setting is a strength workout. I don’t find many of the boulder problems fun to do and there aren’t many if any technique focused problems at any point; they’re all big move and pull yourself up the wall strength problems. This doesn’t bother me much, though, because I’m not a big boulderer.

Was excited to see a climbing gym of this caliber in the south, but that excitement quickly faded. After filling out the waiver and paying for the day passes for myself and my brother who was new to climbing, we had to sit and wait 15 minutes just to get an orientation from the understaffed front desk which had 3 staff members that were overly split between the register, handing out rental equipment, running the store, and doing orientations. We were sad to find out at the end of the tour that half of the bouldering area was closed that day for setting (a piece of information that would've been great to hear before paying), so we headed to the rope room to try out the autobelays before showing my brother how to throw on a quick figure 8 and take the top-rope certification. After getting my brother on one autobelay and having him jump test it, I let him loose and proceeded to the next autobelay down the wall to warm up on a 5.7. After clipping in and giving the autobelay a quick try myself, I began climbing. Cruising up, I reached about halfway up the wall and heard a click and a low humming noise. I looked up to my dismay to see the autobelay steadily cranking out slack as I hang halfway up the wall with nothing but my hands and wit holding me to the wall. Quickly realizing what was happening, I called out to the other climbers in the room to grab a staff member or at least to find someone who knows what to do as I began to downclimb and attempt to keep my cool. To my relief, another climber hopped on the autobelay next to me, climbed up to me, and quickly offered the the safety extension of that rig for me to clip into. We then both lowered off the neighboring autobelay. Now, I'm sure this is partly a testament to autobelays in general, but the fact remains that if any of the many kids hopping on the other belays--or heck even my brother who had to trust the autobelay he was on as all this went down -- if any of them had been in my place, this could've gone differently. For that I was thankful, what I wasn't thankful for was the all-but-absent staff who had no awareness of the incident and had hardly a word to say following the incident. Between faulty equipment, poor service that just made you feel like something was 'off' about the place, and then half of the bouldering room being closed off, it's safe to say that I feel ripped off and that I won't be coming back.

Beware draconian belay certification rules. It was my first time here. It's bee a while. Me: "I'd like to get checked out to belay, but I need a few minutes to review", Gym: "No, you have to do it when you first get here. We don't want you to review then come take the test." My girlfriend needed some pointers from me. Gym: "No, you can't talk before the test because that would consititute instruction. And only our instructors can teach" Me: ok, can we go outside and talk about belay before we take the test"

Aside from all of that: it was a nice climbing gym. ~6 auto belay top ropes. A good kids climbing area with auto belay.
