Hands down the best bouldering gym in Western NC. High-quality climbs with a ton of variety, a super welcoming + laid-back vibe, and an awesome crew of people behind the scenes. 10/5 stars.

This is the best bouldering gym in NC. Seriously good setting on a variety of terrain. Quality grips. Good training area with a Moon. Garage door and fans keep the conditions good for much of the year and people understand etiquette. Killer coffee shop (Hatchet) in the same plaza. Can't beat it with a stick.

Small but high quality facility with a good variety of bouldering wall angles and an even spread of grades. Also has a Moonboard 2016 and decent gym area with free weights/squat rack/climbing specific supplemental training tools. No cable machines but a rowing machine. Additionally, they have a board training area with a campus board. Excellent vibes, and the day pass was eminently affordable. No showers (as a stinky car liver I cry) but clean bathrooms. A great gym if you like climbing outdoors and want to train for technical and powerful movement (and crimp!).

I have been to alot of gyms but I am still new to climbing. This one feels more targeted towards experienced climbers. It was also very busy and rather cramped. Prolly won’t got bad until I get alot stronger. Most the walls are steep overhangs.

Great atmosphere! I have never felt as at home at a gym as I do at Center 45. Staff is all kind and helpful and the community you can find here is unique and awesome. A great gym for a variety of ages and walks of like and all types of skill levels. People are willing to help problem solve and celebrate along side you as you grow and learn to be a better climber. I wish all gyms were this great!

I was really excited to see yoga on their front sign...but it turns out they do not offer yoga classes... They don't offer any kind of classes at all. Website is a mess. They need to update their information.

Extremely chill place! Everyone is enthusiastic and there to have fun - the rules are relaxed and the routes have a little something for all climbing levels. 6-8 climbs for each grade. The merch is also surprisingly top tier.

Every time I’m around Boone/BR, I make a stop at Center 45. Really cool people there, very friendly atmosphere & everyone feeds off of each other’s successful sends. Grades feel spot-on, and I like the training area in the back — they have a great spray board with a lot of small pinches. Also you don’t have to wear a shirt which, as we all know, is like adding flame decals to your Honda... +50hp BABYYYY

When I went to App State, I really enjoyed Center 45. Now that I'm working in Raleigh and can't go there every couple of days, I realize how INCREDIBLE of a place Center 45 is. It's the whole experience - the ambiance, the music, the people, the problems... Some of my best afternoons in Boone were spent there. I've been to several gyms down here, and the difference is astounding. C45 is genuinely special. To those thinking of joining... Join now and go as often as you can!

I wish I could go here every day! Center 45 is easy to find right off of Bamboo Road and is right next to Cutty Bage tattoo shop and hatchet coffee. Upon entering you are greeted by the friendly staff and told about the specials and deals they have going on. For myself, not being a student, it was $14 for a day pass($10 students). Their monthly cost of $69(nice) is way to high for me to fork out as well as the first time fee of another $69. I wish climbing gyms could be cheaper!!

Once you get signed in, there are cubbies to hold your belongings and bathrooms on either side. The main floors boasts a large 4 sectioned wall about 20 feet in height(I guess?) as well as a moon board and a weights section. There are plenty of good routes to send, and the staff change them out weekly. The gym also has many different hang boards to train on and other various pieces of equipment.

I would gladly go here again, maybe on the $10 Tuesdays, and for being one of the only climbing gyms in Boone it is pretty nice!

What’s the best part? All of it...problems, facility, staff, other climbers and most of all it’s always a guarateed good time...we drive an hour and a half to get here just because we love this climbing gym that much and hands down best setters/problems. Go try it for yourself, you won’t be disappointed by this climber/locally owned climbing gym!

Best problem setting of any gym I've been to, and casual, friendly staff. They reset part of the gym every week, and power wash the holds every time they reset. There is also a great general workout area, a high quality coffee shop (Hatchet Coffee) sharing the building, and a beautiful communal lobby. I climb here twice a week, it is well worth the reasonable price.
