Rocky Top Climbing

Fantastic experience: This is the first place I ever went bouldering, and now climbing is one of my favorite things! People here, both the staff and the other climbers, were very friendly to me as a newcomer and helped me get used to the scary feelings of falling! The climbing problems are always varied and fun challenges. This is a great place to bring new and experienced climbing friends, just be sure to note the busy hours because it can get kind of hectic when classes are going on in the early evening. FOR NEWCOMERS TO CLIMBING: bouldering is climbing short (13ft here) walls with no harness or ropes, but with a very safe and thick foam pad at the bottom to catch you when you fall. Rocky Top is a bouldering gym and does not offer top rope or other climbing except in very specific circumstances - they do have a top rope and a silk hanging from the ceiling, but they’re always pulled to the side and I’ve never seen them in use.

Fantastic experience: Fun gym to climb at with lots of interesting routes. They make a good use of the space.

Fantastic experience: I go here to do rock climbing every once in a while, I'm kind of good at it, it's fun, and you should give it a try.

Fantastic experience: The kids really enjoyed there

Fantastic experience: I came here with some friends I was visiting and it was my first bouldering experience, and I had a ton of fun! I’m not the best at climbing, but there were plenty of beginner climbs that I got to try, and I completed each one! It wasn’t too crowded, but this gym overall had a lot to offer. My friends mainly utilize the climbing walls, but there was also space for workout equipment. I had such a great time and would definitely go climbing again!

Fantastic experience: Great climbing for people of all levels of skill. Also, whoever is on the aux has a bop of a playlist.

Fantastic experience: What a great hidden treasure. Good for all ages, very reasonably priced and super friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Excellent route setting and always a great time.

Fantastic experience: So fun and a great whole body work out for all ages. Clean. Challenging.

Fantastic experience: I went with my 8 year old daughter. It was a blast. There were a lot of places she could climb, especially in the upstairs room. It was great to see her confidence building. It was also a great workout for me.

Positive experience: coming from a bigger city, the climbing gym seemed really small at first. but the staff changes up 1/4 of the gym on a weekly rotation so there are always great courses. evenings are busy but if you have a flexible schedule there are times where it’s just a couple people. the staff are friendly and the community is warm. overall enjoying my experience

Fantastic experience: They are great! Staff are helpful, and they change climbing layout frequently so that regular customers can keep enjoying.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. The staff is very friendly. Our first time he was great in explaining how things work and how to be safe. Great place and they did a great job with following masking and social distancing recommendations.

Fantastic experience: Small, yet fun.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I have ever been to. The route setting is topnotch and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Wonderful facilities with everything you could ask for in a bouldering gym.

Fantastic experience: Great bouldering gym with excellent setting and wide variety of styles! I was impressed with the variety of training equipment for a smaller gym

Fantastic experience: We went here yesterday because my 6 year old daughter has been asking to go rock climbing. After comparing a few places we decided to to here. The staff was incredibly welcoming and kind. They showed us around and explained how things worked. They make a small space really work well here! No space seems wasted. My daughter had a lot of fun climbing and we will definitely visit again.

Fantastic experience: 1st ever visit to a climbing gym. Very impressed with facility and staff. 1q

Fantastic experience: Challenging.

Fantastic experience: Great place to everyone who wanna learn or practice the climbing, you will love this place

Fantastic experience: A lot of fun and very supportive atmosphere. I've been told it is "easy" for a climbing place there is a decent range from easy to difficult. There is also a small gym you can use.

Fantastic experience: If you love to climb, this is the place! I had a good time and the staff was really cool. I usually climb for fun, but you'll find all levels of challenge here. A day pass is only $15! And there's a gym too (if that's your thing). Check it out!

Fantastic experience: They have a great bouldering room that is set up to work on your dynamic movements.

Fantastic experience: This place has done some serious renovation work in the last 2-3 years. They've added more climbing space and generally increased the niceness level. It's focused on bouldering because it's just not that tall but there is a good mix of skill ratings on the climbs. There are a few top rope climbs but most people boulder. They've also added some nice programming like after school kid's clubs and adult competitive leagues. It is on the smaller side of climbing gyms I've been to, but it's not the smallest! This gym also has showers and some lockers, some cardio machines and a decent but smallish weight room. I like that they have things like olympic rings and kettle bells and other functional training stuff in addition to more pedestrian weight equipment. It can be a little crowded on a rainy afternoon/evening but it's kind of fun to hang out with the climbing crowd.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic indoor climbing gym. Has a great community.

Fantastic experience: I started climbing here with zero experience, the staff was super helpful and the people that climb here tend to be friendly and offer help and encouragement to new climbers. They also constantly change the routes to keep it fun and interesting; I'm nearing a year of climbing here, and every week I find something new to work on. I wish I knew of this place sooner during my time in cville.

Fantastic experience: Skrt skrt

Fantastic experience: Had a good time. I don't care for rock climbing but the racquetball is always great fun. Bit over priced for just racquetball though

Fantastic experience: Great place to climb, the staff are really nice and gave me a run down my first time bouldering. They have various difficulties and are always creating new courses. The people who frequent here are friendly and supportive, there's no pressure to be perfect and no judgement if you mess up.

Fantastic experience: Great bouldering!

Fantastic experience: Rocky top is rad. The member base is super welcoming and the staff are friendly. The route setting is creative and high quality. The space is small, but they pack into it everything you'd need to either have fun climbing (if climbing's not your regular thing) or to make training progress (if it is).

Fantastic experience: Mainly a bouldering gym but have top ropes if interested. Staff and patrons were all very friendly.
