Great climbing gym with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Prices are fair. Membership benefits are great! A good balance of all skill levels and bouldering and climbing (top-rope or lead). Rotation is well timed to keep the routes interesting and fun.

Had such a good time yesterday as it was my first time there that I bought a 10 visit punch pass. The staff was so awesome, shout out to the young lady that gave me my facility tour she was so pleasant and welcoming. 10/10 for service and as I’m new to climbing indoors and I can’t wait to go back and try the bouldering and different marked routes. For reference I climbed for about 3 hours too.

Really good climbing gym. They change the route frequently and have a lot of auto belays. The mats are really thick and soft and they have a good range of routes ranging from really easy to really hard. They have good packages for beginners to get people climbing from scratch quickly.

Been going here for years and wanted to give a shoutout to the amazing staff who make this little gym a special place! People are friendly and lots of outside climbing parties are formed in the gym. Definitely the most affordable climbing membership I’ve ever had!

It was our first time here but not our first at a climbing gym. They have a really cool bouldering area. For the first time climber or inexperienced it might be a little difficult as a lot of the walls do have pitch changes. They do have an auto belay as well ropes. Great place with good staff.

It's been a few years since I've gone rock climbing. I came in for the first time recently and got a good overview/tour of the facility and instruction on using their auto-belay system. They have everything you need in terms of harness and shoes. The staff are very friendly and helpful and went over everything very clearly. It is a little on the small side when it gets busy but otherwise nice space and location. Definitely coming back to climb some more!

I've been coming here for a few months and have fallen in love with this gym. Great atmosphere with challenging projects for all ranges of climbers. The staff is always helpful and encouraging (even when you're complaining about routes they set that you can't complete 😅). If you go on a weekday in the afternoon you sometimes have a whole section of the gym to yourself. Great place to learn and grow as a climber all around!

Throughout COVID-19 the gym has been good at implementing and enforcing social distancing and sanitation protocols. It has been great having somewhere to go and not have to worry quite so much. I have been a River Rock member for a little bit more than a year. This is a great climbing gym and well deserving of a 5-star review. Cost of membership is well-worth it with all of the classes and events (things i'm looking forward to again once all this COVID mess if over). If you look at all the value that comes with a membership and compare it to other specialty gyms in the area that offer arguably much less, membership is very fairly priced. Additionally, there are punch cards and day passes available if you do not want to pay the full price of a memberhsip.

Staff is always extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and there are a good number of climbs for all skill levels. Routes get reset regularly so there is always variety, even if you go often. Setting team is great. Despite looking deceptively small from the outside, there are a lot of climbs (toprope, lead, bouldering) in varying styles. Obviously won't be as tall of climbs on roped routes as some of the big name gyms but it never feels like it's not enough. A great community, members, and staff! I recommend this gym/climbing to anyone! The gym has great reviews on here; some of the negative reviews are perplexing to me and I don't agree with their comments at all.

The gym itself is pretty darn cool. Be careful as an out of towner -- they only give belay classes on limited days of the week at limited times. Drove over an hour with my family to take them climbing for the first time, and I had to belay everyone because they weren't offering classes that day. Any gym I've been to other than this one has the classes any day. BUT other than that, the route setting was great... bouldering area is a good size with a lot of routes. There were a ton of auto belays, which worked out in my favor considering my family couldn't learn to belay me. There are also overhung top rope routes, which my home gym lacks, so that was awesome to see (@although couldn't climb them because of aforementioned inconvenience). The belay check was quick as well.

Rock climbing gym, what!!! What do you picture hearing that? Well, if you picture a family friendly atmosphere, a knowledged safe crew; along with a facility equipped for beginners and experienced climbers then you are thinking of River Rock. Kids and adults of all ages are welcomed and seen. Memberships, classes, as well as pay as you go is available for your climbing needs. Bring your own equipment or rent the equipment on site: shoes, harnesses, chalk bags, and more are available. So bring your family and friends and see what rock climbing could be like in your life.

Certainly a good gym. The staff are really friendly and nice and the prices are very fair for members and non-members. However my biggest complaint is that the routes are set with tape and not the actual color of the hold. It seems like they have enough holds to make routes set by color instead of tape. I understand that setting them by the gives you more routes but personally prefer gyms with fewer routes set by color that are changed out more often. This gym does have 7 autobelays tho which is great!!

My children and I really enjoy climbing here. Truly the best rock gym I have found in all the many places I’ve lived! I unfortunately can not afford to go more than once a month for all three of us. I think more people could be able to join if it wasn’t as pricey as it is. With that being said, I’ve also noticed for some reason all things relating to taking classes or gaining memberships in Roanoke are charged almost double what is in lots of other cities. Considering the minimum wage pay here is lower than most cities, I’m not sure why places charge so much to have a good time.
I definitely encourage anyone who’s interested to check them out because they have a lot to offer here! It’s a really fun time and is also very good for your health. They have a lot of great classes and deals you can jump in on. ✌🏻

I love coming here. I am a beginner to rock climbing and have always felt welcome and comfortable at River Rock. The staff is friendly and helpful and are a large part of why I keep coming back. Plus, the Boulders and Brunch on Sunday mornings is a deal that is way too good to pass up, ESPECIALLY if you’re a beginner. If you’re thinking about checking it out but you’re a little nervous, Sunday mornings are the best time because it’s quiet and you can get to know the place in a relaxed setting.
