Hoosier Heights Indianapolis

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Wonderful/Knowledgable staff. Great route turn over. Great time for climbers of all skill levels. Has a feel good community. Best gym in Indy!

Fantastic experience: Recently renovated, this gym is now a legitimately great rock gym. The route setting is pretty good and their new Entreprises walls give them a variety of features to set routes on. They offer plenty of bouldering, lead climbing, and top-roping routes. I only come here when I'm visiting Indy so I can't speak to how frequently they put up new routes.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym, hands down the best in Indy, I got started rock climbing here and have been going for the past year, great turn around on new routes, a variety of challenges for every skill level, and a really great focus on safety. Could not ask for more !

Fantastic experience: Our teenage son wanted to do a climbing party as part of his birthday celebration, so we scoped out Hoosier Heights. Totally worth it. We had a room of climbing walls all to ourselves, but the party could go out to the main area (together) and use the walls there. The staff was friendly and helpful. This was a great experience. Gender is unimportant with this activity. And I’m kinda outta shape, but when I climbed, I had a lot of fun, myself.

Fantastic experience: my favorite indoor climbing spot. Big enough that you wont run out of walls to climb until you dont have the strength to climb anymore.

Fantastic experience: Great exercise and fun, for all ages and prices are fair too. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Not enough rubber ducks. Otherwise, great gym and great people.

Fantastic experience: We’ve been climbing here for a few months now. My son loves it. Each and every staff member has been kind! They recently added an auto belay wall with larger grips on them which are great for my stiff hands. They also got new harnesses which fit my larger size better. It is a very inclusive environment that has made getting back into exercise fun, challenging and in an accepting environment. Excellent staff. Great facility!

Fantastic experience: Great facility! Solid balance between bouldering, auto’s, & ropes. Educated staff

Fantastic experience: It's a great workout, but doesn't have to be.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. They work with my son and have helped him find his love for climbing. The place is clean and the music is fun. This is a must go for learning to climb.

Fantastic experience: The best climbing gym around!! The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating to beginners

Fantastic experience: Favorite climbing gym in Indy by far. Super chill and knowledgeable staff

Fantastic experience: Place was awesome, loved the experience, very beginner friendly but still challenging

Fantastic experience: Easy to stay motivated when the exercise doesn't feel like exercise. Staff is also super friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: First time climber, the staff was attentive and helpful when I had questions or concerns. Price was a little high but worth it for what you are getting.

Fantastic experience: The GM and his staff are incredible. Super friendly young man with only positive vibes coming from him. Very enjoyable experience

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! The workers were super friendly and interacted with me and my group in a non-bothering fashion. Definitely am going to come back with a bigger crowd.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience as a complete beginner. Could not recommend this place enough! The staff was extremely helpful!

Fantastic experience: GM goes above and beyond to make this one of best climbing gyms in the city.

Fantastic experience: My first time in 10 years taking my 4 year old to rock climb- I was anxious walking in, as a fat bodied person with LGTBQ+ family. The staff were wonderful, they made us feel right at home. We wore masks and saw other climbers masked and unmasked as well. They really explained everything thoroughly and we will be returning for sure, it is expensive but next time Ill pack a lunch and some snacks and spend the day. It’s a fun spot for sure for parents and kiddos. I’m planning on going alone for a self care afternoon too.

Fantastic experience: This is a high quality climbing gym with a variety of fun courses! There's a mix of traditional rock climbing and bouldering, as well as some more challenging routes. The staff is helpful and the place is very well kept.

Fantastic experience: Good selection of routes (auto and regular belay), american ninja training course and all around friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Hoosier Heights has been a second home for our son for nearly 8 years, and has allowed him to travel the country to compete in bouldering, lead and speed climbing. The coaches are like family, and go above and beyond to support the team kids. The connection to teammates and coaches was amazing throughout Covid, including regular Zoom team workouts and detailed home workout plans to keep kids in shape and maintain morale. Jessi does an incredible job of keeping families informed about USA Climbing rules/events via email, the team FB page, and regular parent meetings. She has always been quick to answer any questions we have. Thanks to the gym facilities and coaching, Hoosier Heights team kids compete on the regional, divisional, and national level. HH also offers recreational climbing for kids who enjoy the sport but not competition. Beyond team, climbing at Hoosier Heights is fun for all ages, and is an amazing way to get in shape, reduce stress, and feel part of a supportive community. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Family oriented, ninja gym and climbing gym combined into one membership. Love that they have weight room attached along with cardio machines and training boards. Great place to train various ways. Staff is accommodating and polite. My only complaint is that everything is super chalky but it's a climbing gym so to be expected.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best climbing gym in Indiana. I've been climbing here on and off for 4 years now. Staff is experienced and friendly, and the atmosphere is super casual. They have routes for everyone: plenty of easy auto belay routes all the way up to tougher projects like the 40+ foot lead climbing wall. Let's be honest, if you're thinking about climbing in the pandemic, you already know what you're getting yourself into. But they're doing a great job enforcing mask policies, selling alcohol-based liquid chalk to disinfect while you climb, and they even have "clean" and "dirty" bins to get rid of the pens you'll use to sign your receipt. Really doing what they can to make sure it's as safe as can be. COVID has also scaled back their repertoire, but in the usual season they also offer Yoga classes for members, Climbing 101, lead climbing lessons, bouldering tournaments, youth league, and tons more. I haven't even mentioned the Ninja Warrior course, pool table, Snake climbing feature, or member exclusive gym area. If you're looking for a regular place to climb, definitely come hang out; you'll find a great community of people to build you up. If you're just looking for a neat date night or fun place to take the kids for the day, you'll find plenty to love, and the staff will make sure you have everything you need to climb safely and have a good time.

Fantastic experience: Awesome climbing gym! Lots of routes to choose from to cater to all climbing styles, from bouldering to great lead routes. Great atmosphere at the gym, too!

Fantastic experience: 7 year old daughter loved it. We climbed together for about 90 minutes. Lots of climbing wall options for beginners. Good quality rental equipment in decent condition. No lines on the Saturday afternoon that we went. She had a smile on her face the whole time. We used a BOGO coupon in the Indy Discovery book. I’m sure we’ll come back. Fun day.

Fantastic experience: Good for people of all ages. Lots of different options to choose from for climbing. They provide shoes and harnesses. There is also an orientation for new climbers.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place with amazing staff. My son is an avid climber and loves the new routes every week. They have a great top out wall, with routes that are fitting for beginner climbers all the way up. With 3 different boulder areas my kid is in heaven. The staff has always been helpful with answering our climbing questions and helping with choosing the right gear for us. Great place to expend lots of energy and present a fun challenge.

Fantastic experience: Kids had a great time for $14 each. Staff was nice. Most people were their masks at all times. I saw a group of teen girls that weren't wearing their masks and I didn't see anyone say anything to them. I don't agree with posting political beliefs in businesses because it makes me uncomfortable. It's their business though and I support their right to do so.

Fantastic experience: The attention to detail here is extraordinary. They have a lot of rainbow flags hanging everywhere. What better place to imply pride before the fall?

Fantastic experience: We took our basketball team for team bonding and an alternative workout. It was awesome! It really challenges our girls. Also, the staff was great to work with and got our large group checked in quickly and was very informative in explaining the different types on climbs.

Fantastic experience: Stopped by here while traveling for work by myself. The staff and local climbers were friendly and helped me feel welcome. The bouldering alone was enough to keep me busy all night. There are great setters that work here, I enjoyed the flow of the different problems. The different features on the walls felt unique, lending itself to all forms of climbing. The "snake" free solo pillar was a blast to try. I have never seen something like that before, it really gets the adrenaline pumping when climbing over the top. I will drop by here again if I'm in the area.

Fantastic experience: Easy to get in and climb as a day guest!! Friendly staff and lots to do too, good for a nice out state way to keep climbing More rope climbing than bouldering problems and the holds were kinda hard to follow since they were different colors with the routes marked with colored tape. But an overall awesome experience!

Fantastic experience: Today was my first time at an indoor climbing facility. I was very impressed from the moment I arrived. The staff was friendly, courteous, and very helpful. After filling out the wavier, I was handed my shoes and harness and told to gear up and wait at the benches for my orientation. The gal who gave us the orientation was quick and to the point and I appreciated the fact that she didn’t waste time. She explained how to tell the difficulty level of the climbs, auto belay, and how to safely fall. Once she finished up we were on our way! I was only able to climb for about 45 mins before my forearms protested, but I do plan to return. In the future, I plan to bring my own climbing shoes (thanks REI), just because the thought of sharing shoes (sockless) wasn’t my favorite thing. LOL

Fantastic experience: At first, indoor rock climbing seems like yoga to a ex-football player - that is until you try climbing these m************ and realizing that guys 1/3 my size are in 10 times better shape (wait! I just got passed by two girls). I quit! ...ok actually this is highly addictive and ONE HECK of a workout! There were small children climbing beside me (and passing me too) so it's fun for almost any age. Employee Reece gave me a mandatory safety orientation and then recommended a few starter climbs. Totally awesome and I'll be back!

Fantastic experience: Great bouldering and climbing gym! Friendly staff and patrons. If you like climbing but don't go enough to warrant buying a monthly pass there are almost always groupons available for Hoosier Heights.

Fantastic experience: We brought our 10 year old here over the weekend for his birthday. We spent 3+ hours watching our 4 boys ages 4-10 climbing. They had a blast. All the staff was very friendly. There was plenty to do to occupy us for even longer if we wished to stay. We went home with 4 very happy and worn out children. We will be back soon!

Fantastic experience: A must for all families! It is seriously the best place for teens to hang out too. Safe, fun, good tunes, amazing workout. One of my kids has been on the climbing team...it was an awesome experience. This is a sport that can carry you into adulthood. GO!

Fantastic experience: This was my first experience indoor rock climbing and it was perfect. Hoosier Heights is fun for people interested in climbing and great for all skill levels! The space is clean, atmosphere is open but inviting, and the staff are helpful. I cannot wait to return and bring more friends!

Fantastic experience: A wonderful facility with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great options for all skill levels and the climbers there are always willing to help out and give advice. I took my 8 year-old daughter there and she loved it! Bouldering, auto-belay, top rope, she did it all.

Fantastic experience: Went to climb with my brothers, had a great time. The staff is very friendly. Bouldering seems endless there; a great way to chill out with friends and have some fun.

Fantastic experience: As a beginner, I was very comfortable at this location. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and didn't make us feel bad because we didn't know what we were doing. They walked us through safety and even gave us some novice climbing tips. This is going to become a weekly outing for me and friends.

Fantastic experience: Excellent climbing gym. The staff is very safety oriented. The do keep an eye on you and are cool about telling you to do something a safer way. Lots of great lines. Lots of autobelays and a huge sport lead wall

Fantastic experience: They are so welcoming and had some great routes!

Fantastic experience: My favorite climbing gym in the city. More than enough walls that see fairly regular route changes which make for a very good range of difficulties. There are several auto belays, most walls are top roped, and the majority can accommodate lead climbers. There's a snake with a foam pit and a lot of bouldering available. It's reasonably priced and sees regular use by people of all skill sets and ages. Be aware that they do require use of Grigri's but they are provided on the top rope routes.

Fantastic experience: Really great place, loads of options for climbing, super nice, knowledgeable staff who genuinely care about climbing and helping others gain more knowledge. Birthday party crew (esp. lead - Reese) was fantastic handling 20 wild 7yr old climbers. Love the large private space for birthday party climbing. Our new favorite indoor rock climbing location!

Fantastic experience: Staff is cool. A little pricy if you want to do more than bouldering but it's fun. The new ANW addition is sweet but they charge too much for that when there's too many people doing it and you don't get much time on it. Feels a bit like a waste. But love the bouldering.

Fantastic experience: After trying this gym out a few times I was eager to become a member. The routes get changed and rated by professional setters about every two weeks, and they come up with some really creative ones too. The community here is awesome, both with the staff and the climbers. I've never met any unfriendly staff or seen them be less than friendly to anyone. There are plenty of events to meet new people, or it's really easy to strike up a conversation with any of the climbers. I have also really been enjoying the new ninja warrior course. What a great addition! I absolutely love it here and would highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Good routes. Lots of options for bouldering, top rope, and lead climbing. They also have a fun challenge called "the snake"--a climbing wall at a steep angle with a deep foam pit under it to catch your fall. Great place for beginners or experienced climbers alike!
