Triangle Rock Club - Morrisville

Fantastic experience: Great facilities. Incredibly friendly and helpful team. The day pass price for first-time visitors includes the rental of very comfortable climbing shoes and a harness.

Positive experience: I have a love/hate relationship with the gym. I love the routes and walls here but hate the safety when it comes to kids running around. I understand there are safety videos at the start of climbing and that there are counselors who watch a lot of the kids in camps, but I and my fellow climbers routinely have to tell kids and workers that kids should not be running and should be looking up above them when by a wall. I've had a friend almost land on a kid before and the workers put cones up but that was the one time. It's exhausting having to keep watch of kids, parents, and workers not taking proper safety measures. I and my fellow climbers have had to avoid areas/routes and it makes climbing not fun. Please get a better system for watching over kids and keeping everyone safe. This is not an isolated incident and happens literally every time I come to climb. For example, kids will be jumping across the top of the donut, rushing over to a wall while people are climbing, jumping in areas others are climbing, running under people climbing, etc. Edit to add: The answer should not be to avoid areas of kids or to find another time to climb. Safety should matter at all times and areas of the gym. Also, staff are generally kind and helpful when it pertains to everything other than kids running around and jumping.

Fantastic experience: TRC is the best place to climb in NC. They have facilities all over the triangle in Raleigh, Morrisvilleand Durham. They offer free events and classes to members. Membership is around $80 per month, the couple’s membership is slightly discounted per person. I prefer the Morrisville one over the Raleigh one because of the more beginners friendly bouldering wall. It’s very hard to find parking if you come here after work. I often have to park at the Trader Joe’s across the street.

Fantastic experience: Staff were super friendly, the bouldering area was a bit small and ranking was challenging for me, V0-2 felt much harder than Gyms in other states, although - I am a beginner so this is just how it felt for me. They also got a few auto-belay spots which is great (and were hard for me, even the 5.8, and I am usually climbing 5.10c). I will come later next time and try the kids section on the left that opens at noon, might be easier :)

Fantastic experience: Was there with my two kids ages 4 and 8. They both had a great time and can't wait to go back. I used to do indoor climbing regularly and was really impressed by the size of the facility and the great variety of climbs, at varying skill levels. Very clean and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Prices are really reasonable and first timers get a nice discount. Definitely going back.
