Rock climbing gym GymAbout the Club
Our love for climbing is in everything we do. So much, that we often spend our βwork timeβ discussing recent or future outdoor trips, admiring our heroes, and obsessing over gear. As each new climber finds their passion, ours humbly grows stronger. Climbing is more than something we do, itβs who we are.

The CRAG in Franklin is great. My son is part of a climbing class and encouraged me to try it. So, I asked Hailey if she would lead a geriatric class for me and a friend. She was enthusiastic and we have been learning so much. Best part is, she is mindful of our old injuries and makes sure we stretch before and after class! Climbing is a great way to drop all lifeβs cares- only you and the next handhold nothing else!

Cheers to Miles for welcoming us and showing us around. We were eager to stop by for a climb in the middle of a road trip and we're glad we chose the Crag! Hope to be back in the future.

The Crag is my favorite climbing gym period!! I love the grade range and thereβs always some new route that puzzles me in the best way. The gym is clean and pleasantly busy. Both climbers and employees are kind and respectful.

Friendly staff, interesting and varied routes, and plenty of sets for autobelay! I came with my own shoes and harness, then got some chalk for $3 and a day pass for $17. I'd absolutely come back, since there were autobelays I didn't get to. Lots of kids, but the parents were paying attention and gave other climbers plenty of opportunities to try the routes too.

We've been here a few times for our son's climbing competitions and must say, it's a very nice gym. Lots of bouldering and top rope/lead opportunities. Their weight/work-out area looks nice, but we've never utilized it. It's kept very clean and staff is super nice.

Absolutely amazing and the best experience. I didnβt know how great my kids were for their first time until we went and realized how great it was. Both my 6 year old and my seven month old did absolutely great. We had to sign a membership before we left. Canβt wait to go back and do it again very soon.

I donβt have many friends in the area that climb, so I ended up going alone for my first visit. I went early in the morning and it was a very chill and friendly environment. I had such a good time, they offer plenty of great bouldering, and really fun routes on the auto belays, so I was able to have a great time and get challenged even without a belay buddy. Iβll definitely have to take a friend back and check out their other walls without auto belays!

Took my twin daughters on their 18th birthday, along with two of their friends. Staff was extremely friendly. We had one experienced climber, but the other three had never climbed. They were given an overview of the equipment and how to hook up everything. Once they showed the staff member they could do everything correctly they were given the go ahead; they even got to try the bouldering. Such a laid back atmosphere with plenty of room for climbers and spectators. Definitely worth the trip!

I agree w other reviews that there arenβt a lot of auto-belays, but thereβs a lot of bouldering if you go solo.

This facility is nice and clean with both building and lead/top rope climbing available. In the past this was a nice place with middle ground boulder problems across the gym. I feel as if though the lack of grades from the recent competition they held limited newer/beginner climbers from having a robust set of problems.
Otherwise the staff was friendly and helpful as we completed our training, and the belay testing. There is a gym in the back that we did not touch this time, but that is an option for people looking for a more versatile experience.

The Crag has tie-in ropes which aren't for everyone, but the bouldering is really fun with lots of different styles. There is one big boulder in the middle with a TON of cool routes that utilize overhangs and other parts of the curvature of the boulder. The walls are fun, setting is somewhat regular, and there's a full gym in the back to get some other workouts in. Overall really fun place to hang with nice employees and a great environment!

My 1st grader has always lived climbing, but this was our first time at a climbing gym. Everyone there way extremely friendly, helpful, and inviting. They made us feel like we belonged and it was pretty clear that's how they treated everyone. Just as well.
Getting into climbing was dead simple. They had everything you needed the and operating the equipment was so easy my 1st grader has it figured out after 5 minutes.
If you think you might like climbing, give it a try! It was inexpensive, easy to start, and extremely inviting!

I joined the crag 9 months ago and had no previous experience climbing. The staff is friendly, encouraging and knowledgeable about all the climbing things! More specifically Whitney and Haley have been encouraging and helpful in answering all my climbing questions. They offer different levels of climbing classes (Iβve taken the climbing 101 and belay class). Iβve enjoyed my membership benefits too from the store discount, community nights to the free guests passes! Iβve been able to talk my sister and a friend to getting a membership too (they give you a credit for referring new members) and most importantly I have more climbing partners!

My 8 year old wanted her birthday party at a Rock Climbing place and we found The Crag. Great place for a birthday party. The Crag helpers, Jackson and Kaden, were really helpful and friendly. I didn't get to climb this time round because I was caught up on the phone doing work, but my wife was hitting the walls hard along with the birthday group! Will definitely visit again!
If I do say anything (and this is not a complaint), they are very timely. We started on time and we finished on time...and they don't play. But that's a good thing...I'm sure they have other events and things to get to so I wasn't mad they ushered us along and got us out of there.
Appreciate y'all!

Oh my goodness, where do I start? I have always wanted to experience rock climbing and the atmosphere at this location is so friendly and helpful. In general, the staff was courteous, attentive, and knowledgeable about the equipment, how to climb, where to start, and didn't make you feel judged on your first attempt. Even though I suffer from a fear of heights, I had long wanted to learn rock climbing. I was very fortunate to be able to climb with someone here. It was such a wonderful experience that I also took belay classes. You don't even notice the time passing during the workout. (Yes this is a workout, a FUN one!) This activity is a fantastic way to bond with friends and family. The package which is 22.00 a person, includes a day Pass, climbing shoes, and a harness. My first time going, I chose the package, and it was a great choice!

Super fun. Excellent service. The courses are marked with difficulty levels (but not by what body part they work. My friend noticed this difference from other rock climbing experiences but didnβt bother us). They also have a double hook policy which keeps the auto belay from getting away from you, another thing my friend noticed was different from other climbing experiences. She said this was great because it keeps the belay from getting away from you (like a helium balloon) and then you having to wait for someone to go up and retrieve it. Great workout. Canβt wait to go back.

I work out here regularly and have for months. They have a good variety of walls and some bouldering. The routes are changed out regularly. They have 10 autobelays. The routes range from 5.7-5.13. Everything is in good condition. The people who work there are really excellent, helpful, nice, and professional. My only complaint about the routes is that not everything is labeled, so it makes it hard to guess how hard some of them are. Maybe 20-30% are unlabeled.
They have routes with slight inclines, large inclines, a chimney, volumes, all kinds of different holds of course. Itβs not the biggest climbing gym but they manage the variety of routes really well.
They have lots of climbing classes. One of their classes, the belay class youβre required to take to be certified to belay there, is just $13 and they do it on Saturdays and can work with you on scheduling. They also have yoga classes that are free if you ha e a membership, but Iβve never attended those so canβt speak to them.
A membership isnβt cheap but if you buy five passes at a time itβs considerably cheaper (assuming you arenβt climbing super often). You just miss out on some of the other benefits of having a membership, which includes having two free guest passes per month to use on friends.
They have a store with chalk, liquid chalk, shoes, harnesses and other gear, energy bars, drinks, etc. Most of their climbing shoes are $140 or so, in that range, whereas you can buy shoes online for half that price. So I didnβt buy my shoes there. They rent shoes and harness for a very affordable price per day so itβs not that big of a deal to just rent for a while to figure out how much youβre into climbing.
The clientele tend to be nice helpful people too. The community is just great.
There is a workout area as well that has benches, rowing machines, kettle bells, dumbbells, ropes, medicine balls, pull up bars, and those fancy wooden thingies that you can hang from to workout your finger grip strength. Itβs not an enormous workout area but itβs solid enough.
Thereβs lots of free cubbies for storing your stuff so you donβt have to pay for a locker unless you want to.
Overall just a great place to workout, a neighborhood gem that I hope never goes away!

I went with my family (6 kids, 4 adults - ages 6-34) to experience indoor rock climbing at the Crag for the first time, and I have to say I'm impressed. It was so much fun seeing my little nieces and nephews attempt to scale these vertical playgrounds and cheer for each other when one of them completed a challenge to the top.
The workers were very professional, easy to talk to, and were always happy to assist the kids (and adults) with any issues.
The cost was very reasonable and the facilities were extremely clean. Don't sweat at all if your group are beginners (we all were). We were climbing by ourselves after a short five minute block of instructions. Children under 10 can climb all auto-belay lanes, but require someone aged 10 or over to assist clipping them in. However, only ages 12 and over can do the bouldering (no harnesses). Also, for planning purposes, plan on staying for only 2-3 hours at most if you are with a group of beginners - your arms and fingers fatigue quickly.
They do have an awesome setup with tons of lanes. but only about 10-15 are auto-belayed; meaning that's the only ones for beginners as the device will automatically lower you slowly if you fall off the wall. All the other lanes require a certified belay personnel.
Which leads to my last point. They do tons of camps and training for all ages, and if I lived closer I would definitely take advantage of them!

This review gets updated every now and then.
Nice facility.
My one big gripe with all indoor climbing gyms is that they don't let you belay yourself. If you can belay yourself without getting hurt and you're not allowed to do it, it limits the number of climbs you can do. An indoor gym is a place where you can practice things before you climb outside so this sets people up for failure. So took off a star for not being allowed to belay myself, even though I can do it without getting hurt, except for maybe banging into the wall when I fall, which could happen if I was being belayed by someone else anyway.
Like any other climbing gym, it's a little micromanaged at times. To be able to test out of belaying, they require you to use the knot they want you to use and the belaying techniques they want you to use, even if there's more than one way to do it. If you want to take a friend and teach them to belay you, they don't allow you to do that. Your friend would need to take a class given by them, which wouldn't be so bad if the classes weren't only at certain times. If someone can take the class any time of the day as long as they have an employee available, that would solve the problem. One person I was climbing with took their belay class and were climbing with me and they were told that they can't belay me unless they test out. Then the same employee came back and said that they were wrong about what they had told my partner and it was OK to belay me. Another person I was climbing with had taken the Lead Climbing class and they were told that they would need to test out before they can do any lead climbs at all. So you're supposed to take the test after taking their class but if you need more practice I don't know how else you would work on it. Would be nice if they can review their policies and have all employees get on the same page.
The facility itself is very nice and very clean. For the most part customer service hasn't been hateful like the other gyms in the area and most employees have been professional most of the time. Certain employees were bossy and "assertive" towards me when I first joined. Things have gotten better after being there for a while.
I had bought their one year membership on sale for $700 + fee. I started going there hoping that my grip and skills will improve so if that happens I'll be OK. Climbers are usually helpful and I've been able to climb with other people that I had not met before so it's a great place to find climbing partners if you're a loner like me.
Biggest climbing gym I've been to so far and is very clean. Recommend you try it for yourself, whether you're new to climbing or not.

Super friendly and helpful staff. We went the end of 2020, and their cleaning protocol and social distancing policies were excellent. Our crew had a great time climbing in a clean environment. Will definitely be going back β€

I want to thank The Crag for connecting me to Chris Wilson. My 8yr old son and I went outdoor climbing January 2nd at Stone Door and the trip Chris had planned was perfect. 6 hours of climbing, 12 total climbs and a lot of great skills learned. Thanks again!

We had a wonderful time today taking kids to climb (8 and 5 year-old.) The staff was attentive and helpful to our pack of newbies! The facility felt very safe with masks encouraged for anyone not currently climbing. Well spaced with lots of climbing and bouldering options. We can't wait to go back!

I tried this place out for the first time and it was great! The staff was knowledgeable and patient. I could tell she really enjoyed her job. My hands were sore and I felt a little beat up the next day but in a good way. I'll definitely go back.

Recently came here is my first ever climbing experience. I went alone because I wanted to see what it was about before I convinced my group of friends to come. The staff is super friendly and very helpful! They walked me through everything from shoes to harness and the auto belay. Brought my friends and we had a great time there was plenty for me to do as beginner but looked like was plenty for more advanced as well. I will definitely be coming back! Social distancing is enforced and mask must be worn while moving around the gym but do not have to be worn while actually climbing which is nice.

I love it here but the bouldering routes have been set up progressively more difficult.
Less routes for the lower skilled new comers like me.
I hope this of fixed soon. Otherwise we will have to cancel our memberships.
