Whether you're new to climbing or experienced, make sure to stop at High Point if you're in Birmingham. I can't say enough great things about the staff and other members. Everyone went above and beyond expectations and really made my trip great. I was in Birmingham for just 2 days and had packed my climbing gear hoping to get a trip to a gym in. I called pretty late on a Saturday night to see if I could come in and check it out, and if I bought a day-pass, would I be able to come back Sunday morning. Without hesitation, the staff member told me to come on over. I got oriented and climbed a little bit around 9:30pm before they closed - just long enough to realize I TRULY HATE auto-belays. So, before I left for the night, the staff was nice enough to let me do a belay test and get my tag. I came back Sunday morning just as they opened and it was not trouble at all for my guest pass (from 12 hours ago) to be honored. I did a few more really stressful climbs on auto-belay before someone took pity on me and belayed me. After that, I did some bouldering, and I was pretty done but still had time to spare. So, I asked a guy who looked alone if he needed a belay partner and it turns out he'd only ever used the autos and was really excited to have someone to belay him. I had a great time, made a new friend, and definitely will be making a visit to High Point a standard part of my visits to Birmingham in the future. Also, what I didn't expect was how big the gym would be and how many different areas it had. From a small weight room to bouldering to a kids/beginners area, to top rope, to lead climbing, this gym really has something for everyone. Plus, TRULY - the friendliest and most accommodating staff I've encountered across a variety of gyms.

The staff are really friendly and personable. I loved that they had a kid zone which kept the larger areas more open for people trying to get in a good session. The climbs were good and the 60ft walls were awesome. Would definitely recommend.

The staff is by far the most friendly I've ever seen. Great place. Great walls too. I would recommend taking one of the classes.

Great climbing gym. Wish I lived closer to go back all the time. Definitely have to be belay certified (free to get certified with them) in order to make this worth it though as most courses are belay. Staff was great to get my husband and myself certified and quickly. There were lots of kids around but mostly stayed to the kids area. The kids area looked a lot of fun and was cool to have their separate area as to avoid potential injury with all the adults climbing. Bouldering was fun too. Definitely worth trying out.

I visited yesterday with a coworker, and we were greeted by a friendly employee who granted us an extensive tour of the gym. Despite only watching my coworker climb, my experience was very pleasant. I highly recommend it.

We took our 6 year old granddaughter who has done a little climbing before. She had a fabulous time and didn’t want to leave after 2 hours. Staff was very helpful in getting us started.

Amazing climbing gym! The toproping section was incredible, with great staff, friendly climbers and lots to do. The kiddies area, gym, sauna and bouldering are also fantastic.
