Had so much fun here! Went with a friend about a month ago and it was a great experience! I’ve been to a few climbing gyms and this one is very clean and modern (and have the cutest kids section!). The vibe was relaxed and the staff (and even the regulars) were super personable and helpful. I felt very comfortable here as someone without a lot of formal experience!!

The staff member (Brae) that helped us was fantastic! He made it a very fun and enjoyable experience. My friend and I had no plan or intention going into it, so Brae was very helpful and patiently went through all the different types of climbing and their requirements needed in order to climb here. We chose to do the top rope, so (and DISCLAIMER, it wasn’t busy at all!!), he got us signed up for the beginner top rope introduction class and got us in right away! Very personable and clear in his instructions. He made it super easy to follow and remember the steps needed. Actually the best climbing instructor I’ve had by far.

The only thing I wished they had were auto belays so I could go by myself and not have to ask a stranger to help me. But everyone there was really nice and I was told as long as they weren’t busy, the staff should be able to belay for me.

Overall, LOVED my experience here and definitely plan on going back!!!

Best routes in the Midwest. Curious? Only one way to find out.

Easily the most welcoming community I have been a part of, Brae is such a friendly face every day I come in and he & the rest of the team create such an encouraging environment to climb in! I’ll miss this gym so much when I’m at school, but I’m stoked to be back whenever I can. Columbus rocks has very quickly become a third place I find myself at 6 or 7 days a week just because of the people and the atmosphere of the gym itself! :)

Love the new look of our local climbing gym under new ownership! Not only does it feel like a fresh breath of life has been breathed into it, but the new set up looks amazing and there are even more routes that are fun and challenging. Bray, the gym manager, was also incredibly nice, knowledgable, encouraging and positive. Me and the hubby can’t wait to go back for some awesome climbs.

My 10-year-old daughter and I have been going to Columbus Rocks for Daddy-Daughter dates for the past couple of years, and it’s become a special tradition for us. This time, though, was different—and in the best possible way.

Under new ownership, the place has gotten a fantastic facelift. There are more climbing walls than before, a dedicated kid-friendly area, and we were excited to hear that even more upgrades are on the way. You can tell there’s a renewed energy and vision behind it all.

What really made this visit unforgettable, though, was the staff. The guy who helped us (unfortunately bad at remembering names…) went above and beyond. He was incredibly welcoming, patient, and encouraging—especially to a couple of amateurs like us. He made us feel completely at ease and truly elevated the experience.

Columbus Rocks has always been a great place, but now it’s something really special. A 10/10 visit, and we’re already looking forward to our next climb.

They have been remodeled and under new management, and it was a great time. I took a group of 6 girls there from ages 10 to 15 and they all loved it. The staff was so friendly and helpful working with the girls. They all want to go back.

Me and a big group of young men and middle school boys came down right after they renovated the gym and the facility is really nice. Also, everyone their was so nice and helpful. They showed and taught us how to climb and it was a ton of fun. Would definitely recommend going there.

I hadn't rock climbed in about 17 years so I was a bit nervous. Eli was very nice though and helped give us a quick intro to the rock climbing gym. It was fun! It was intimidating at first without having a harness but I got the hang of it and had a good time. Will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I attended an “Intro to Rock Climbing” class here. It was amazing. I always was afraid of taking this first step but somehow randomly came across this class on MINDBODY app and registered for it. The instructor was very knowledgeable and calm which helps if you have stress in either climbing or going down. He was very friendly and made the experience very smooth. My bf caught up with the material much faster and the instructor made sure the class wouldn’t be boring for him and covered some more advanced stuff for him. Overall, I recommend this class to someone who has been considering to start rock climbing at a gym. I am considering to attend the yoga classes next time. The vibe here is very nice and other climbers are friendly and helpful. The gym has easy and challenging routes and instructors help you understand which routes are best fit for your capabilities. For $25 each, we were able to get a 1 hr class, and access to climbing shoes (which were very comfortable and worked for wide fit feet) and climbing chalk. Our coach started the class with some stretch movement to make sure our shoulders are ready for starting the climb.

Little indoor rock climbing place in Columbus. Go get your climb on if you have it in you and you think you can master the skilled climbs. Safety is first and they are on top of it. Don't be scared. Go get your climb on. Don't lose your grip.. don't lose focus and you will master it in no time. Prepare for a good day and a great workout. Especially on your upper body.....

Took my active 4 yr old to see how he'd do with it. Was very pleased with the experience and the young men that helped us. Jesse behind the counter was great and helpful and Liam going over everything with my son was just as awesome. I will say I wasn't sure how well my son would do with listening to Liam but he kept his attention and did amazing with him. Can't wait to go back.

Great local business, staff are lovely and very helpful. They've a small and basic weight lifting room on their second floor. Their monthly payments are quite high but they're willing negotiate if you've got a budget.

Ultimately, I would highly recommend them over any chain business. They're a great small, local business and a great addition to Columbus!

Pleasant, small gym.
All the routes are fair and were pretty fun. There’s a small cave-like corner that I enjoyed, and it was nice that you can top out.

There’s a children’s-only area that’s a nice touch.

Joined the gym last month and it has been an amazing experience. The people who visit and work at the gym form a great community where it's easy to make friends and get help with climbing. The routes are changed regularly and it is never too busy to the point where you can't just walk up to the wall and start climbing. I love this place!

This is a small rock gym, and it can get crowded easily. Also only bouldering is offered here; there isn’t any top roping or lead climbing. That being said, it’s still a great place—there are many climbing routes at different difficulties and it’s very fun. Also there is a weight lifting area and a game room upstairs if you get bored with climbing.

My husband and I love rock climbing and we wanted to try a new place out and bring our kids. So we found Columbus Rock Gym on a Google search. The good news is it's great for kids. The kids loved it and they found a new love for rock climbing. However, I wasn't very satisfied as an adult. It's a small place and it was over crowded. A lot of the people were sitting in the middle and you had to try not to step on someone to get to the other side to another wall. An understandably good rule is that you can't climb if someone is under you. This prevents injuries in case you fall. But nine times out of ten there was someone under you laying down or sitting and talking. We were charged $60 for the four of us. The kids used the time well! But my husband didn't get to climb at all and I only got to climb a couple of walls before I stopped because there was nowhere else to climb where someone else wasn't at.

Bouldering only which is the reason it doesn't get 5 stars. The routes are well set and the people are very friendly. The staff is knowledgeable and doesn't want to rub it in. They have an area dedicated to kids climbing which is awesome. The gym upstairs needs work which is coming soon apparently. They also have a ninja warrior course, a moon board, a ping pong table, and old school video games up stairs. A climbing hipsters paradise.

I absolutely love this gym! Before they opened I had to drive at least an hour to nearby cities if I wanted to climb. Now I only have to drive 5 minutes, and they're prices are really reasonable. Especially as a college student, it's a great place to take friends to unwind but still get healthy exercise. They also have a great kids area. The staff are amazing and built this place from the ground up after their day jobs. Please support this local business!

This brand new rock gym in Columbus is bringing great vibes and a lot of fun. The selection of bouldering routes is solid for anyone up to V8 ability, and I am sure they will get harder routes up as the local climbers start sending the current hard routes. The walls are clean, and the colors vibrant, very appealing place. The kids climbing area is amazing, looks like such a good time for the kids. The best part about Columbus Rock Gym is the people. They are so excited to see people progress and have fun on the walls. They encourage people that are pushing new boundaries of difficulty, and also give such great motivation to new climbers with available tips and tricks with regards to technique. Customer service is excellent!
