Southern Stone Indoor Climbing

Fantastic experience: Great and friendly staff, plenty of routes for all skill levels. Couldnt ask for more.

Fantastic experience: Doesnt grade softly, no ego boost, just raw facts. Better for prepareing for outdoor climbing and honest self improvement, especially rare in lousiana.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place! Tons of fun and different walls and pitches to choose from. Also has self belay systems. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: We had a great time! Very helpful staff..

Fantastic experience: It's hard to find somewhere to climb in one of the flattest places in the country, so I am so thankful Lafayette had access to a place like Southern Stone! My only complaint is that the vast majority of the rope routes are on inverted walls, and most of the bouldering is on overhang. It's always good to be pushed to practice what I don't like but I do sometimes wish there was more technical/balancy/crimped climbing!

Fantastic experience: Nice place tall walls nice people strongly recommend

Fantastic experience: Nice place tall walls nice people strongly recommend

Fantastic experience: The best climbing gym in all of Louisiana hands down

Fantastic experience: WOW! I wish I could give 100 stars! This place is amazing! The owner is so kind and great at what he does! Just had my son’s 7 th birthday party at Southern Stone and it exceeded every expectation! Thank You John for sharing your passion for Rick climbing with our community! Hands down one of my best overall experiences any where in Lafayette! You Guys “ROCK”!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: First time rock climbing, got to meet friendly people and explore a new potential hobby

Fantastic experience: Best experienced in person. Nothing like it in the area. Greatest staff in Louisiana. You have any questions from, "how do I put this harness on" to "what's the best places to climb outdoors." John will tell you all that he knows. Super friendly environment where we all are there to just have fun, help each other out, and laugh. Want to climb alone? Sure! No one will bother you. Want to be challenged by others? Plenty of that on just about any night. Great exercise and even greater fun. Worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Lafayette is lucky to have this place. If your tired of counting reps I really encourage you to give this place a visit, bring a friend to operate the ropes so y'all can climb all the way to the top!

Fantastic experience: Had an outstanding 5 mins! Went 40 mins before closing and we were treated the store just opened. Great customer service at the front desk. Great Workout as well. Tougher than it looks tho. Had so much fun though. Go support our only mountain everyone..lol! God Bless!!

Fantastic experience: 10/10/21 Came here for the first time at noon. John is a very awesome instructor: he even took pictures for my friend and I on his own volition--that was a great added touch of customer service! I have minimal athletic ability, and I still had a great time. I will be back with other guest to try it in the future.

Fantastic experience: Such a great experience! We had a group of 6-8 people. The owner, Jonathan, was a great instructor: knowledgeable, helpful and patient as our group learned the basics. From the environment of the facility to the staff, everything was 5 star. Our group will definitely be coming back to host more events with Southern Stone!

Fantastic experience: Friendly and informative staff. Climbing there was good.

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend and I have been two weekends in a row now and the staff is super friendly and informed. On our most recent visit one of the employees would periodically walk around and give tips or applaud us. At one point he noticed me struggling with a V0 and told me it's a garbage route for the rating and directed me to another spot where he gave me general pointers. I'd told him I'd tried it earlier but didn't finish it because I was scared. In the best way possible he peer pressured me in front of the cool kids (the regulars that were doing crazy hard routes) and encouraged me to work past my fear and complete the route.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place for all ages to stay active and have fun.

Fantastic experience: It was there first time and they love it. the instructor was very good with them plus showed them a lot really, good guy.

Fantastic experience: Very fun and addicting activity. Always a good time to go and climb. Plus its the only place around to rock climb so take that into account.

Fantastic experience: Super nice staff. Very worth it and fun.

Fantastic experience: This place has been an absolute lifeline for me and given me a healthy outlet. The positive energy is impermeable. The love and encouragement here is unreal.

Fantastic experience: Awesome rock climbing gym. Super friendly owners who are always willing to help and give advice. Good membership prices. New routes to try on a regular basis. Great variety of challenges for different skill levels. And of course, good vibes.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Just got a membership and try to go twice a week.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a way to change up your workout, Southern Stone's the place. It has a great community and always has a way to challenge you.

Fantastic experience: I will say that it was a good experience. I went 3/3/2018 on a Friday. I was happy. I fell a few times but John encouraged me to try again. He hooked the line to an easier course and I aced it. I told him that I would be back and I will. I want to climb the big wall and be successful at it. I will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: So much fun! Wonderful for the beginner and challenging as you want it to be.

Fantastic experience: Went once and have been addicted ever since. Very friendly and helpful owner, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Met the owner on my last visit and got some amazing instructions. Staff is always helpful and routes are great.

Fantastic experience: A blast, as usual. The owner and staff were pleasant.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! I've been going since I was a kid and I still enjoy it! They have so many options for each experience level. Definitely recommend! However if you like climbing to the top, make sure you bring someone with you because you need two people to be allowed to do so.

Fantastic experience: Love the new look since ownership has changed. Staff is always very friendly and they change the holds up pretty often so every time I go back it's like I'm taking on completely new walls.

Fantastic experience: Best place to do some indoor rock climbing in Louisiana.

Fantastic experience: The gym was very clean, cool, and welcoming. John was a great guide and taught us everything we needed to know. Boyfriend and I had a great time! Everyone should consider bringing climbing gloves, my hands feel like I've been gripping sandpaper for 2 hours!

Fantastic experience: Enjoyable place to pull on plastic

Fantastic experience: Southern Stone has the best environment of any rock gym I've been too. They have some very dedicated route setters, and very hard working crew to keep the place clean and running smoothly.

Fantastic experience: Perfect!
