Used to be one of the best gyms I've climbed until they were acquired by a conglomerate. Since then, they've:-relegated autobelays to the children's wall only (25' 5.8s)-- so no more dropping by for quick solo workouts-stopped lending ropes-- so you have to either buy a gym rope or lug your 60' outdoor rope around-got rid of the women's bouldering competition-stopped listing route ratings in Matthews and only put them on an app (who carries their phone around while climbing?)I previously went to IP multiple times a week and it's a bummer it's just not a good experience anymore.

Fine gym, lots of routes, but their rope routes are seem notably over graded. They have a ton (like...dozens) of "5.10a-5.11c" routes set, but the handful I climbed felt between 5.8-5.10.Route rating is an interesting enigma - they have grade response cards on some routes and I was surprised to see so many clients agreeing that routes were what the setter suggested. Didn't make much sense to me; the setters from my home gyms in Atlanta would rate most of these Inner Peaks route 2-3 grades lower. They have a 5.10a set that I would blindly rate a 5.7!

I have been to MANY climbing gyms as I use to work at one and have been a climber for 8+ years. This gym was smelly, the routes were okay at best, it’s absolutely overpriced. The yoga classes are sub par and the weight lifting area is a joke.I have been to gyms that cost less and have state of the art facilities plus a nice weight lifting area and a plethora of classes to choose from in private classroom areas included in the membership. This place is honestly not worth it unless they lower their prices.

Cool gym. Out-of-towner who travels a lot for work so I like to try out local climbing gyms. I mostly stick to bouldering, but I did try out the auto belays for a bit. The staff was prompt with the orientation. Lots of good routes to choose from. The holds could use a cleaning. Some routes were hard to distinguish colors because there was so much chalk. Will be back again when I'm in Charlotte.

Really nice space for climbing. Lots of boulders and rope climbs. 3 auto belays. A really big selection of workout equipment and climbing boards.

Everybody here is so nice and helpful, the gym and climbing areas are clean and easy to navigate. From the moment we walked in Bryan and the rest of the staff were awesome and helped us get set up with everything we needed, this is definitely going to be one of our favorite spots to come after work or on the weekends

Solid gym! I primarily boulder and really enjoy the volume of sets and the variety of grades. Good range of slab, vert, overhang, caves etc. It's also nice to be able to warm up on some autobelays here beforehand. There's a decent sized workout room, a yoga studio, and standard training boards too, so you can definitely get any kind of workout in. Friendly staff and very tempting retail section up front.

Had lots of fun, day pass is nice if going to make use of it time wise. There were 4 tall auto belays & 6 upstairs shorter ones. They weren't as crowded as I thought they might be on a busy rainy holiday Sunday , especially considering how many people in the place. Most were bouldering! Beginners 5y through adult felt satisfied and accomplished.Annoying that even kids with experience not allowed to clip in & out (as we're used to at other climbing places), so constantly bugging us 2 adults to clip them in &out.Only real downside was the smell, really hits you as soon as you walk in & doesn't let up, pew ew!

First off not enough parking, second over priced membership, third poor diversity of roots, and some of the most inaccurate root ratings I've experienced in 15+ years of climbing. Lastly, apparently unlike any other gym I've ever been a member of. They run membership charges BEFORE the 1st day of the month. So you can't cancel your membership the the last few days of the month, no you have to do it well before the month begins. Scumbag move by a already not with it gym.

Out of town visitor. Appreciate their attention to safety. Loved the variety of routes. Layout of gym is amazing, climb vibe was approachable, and routes were true to grade. Would recommend upgrading a lot of the holds / cleaning them though. So chalked over you couldn’t tell the color on many. They seems pretty well used. Would definitely come back though.

I’m new to climbing and I’m in love with this sport! So far, I’ve visited 5 climbing gyms so far, and this one is the best so far.Several auto belays, mainly geared towards intermediate climbers. So much wall space to climb and there’s bouldering as well.The bathrooms have showers and they were clean. Friendly staff!

I have endless good things to say about this place. I joined 3 weeks ago and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The social aspect is incredible, the staff is lovely and helpful, the resources of rentals and random little things you might need, the gym, the free classes, there’s so much to love. Also, the hours. Opening early and staying open late has been soooooo wonderful so that I can use my membership to the fullest

Really awesome rock gym! The staff was super kind and helpful, the facilities were beautiful, and the routes were exciting. Our friends are getting married in September and I cant wait to come climb again.

Just left this location. It looked like it would be really fun, but unfortunately the website hours don’t match the actual business hours so we weren’t able to enjoy it. I normally wouldn’t write a review, but the staff member at the front desk was incredibly rude to another gentleman who came in at the same time as us who also thought this location closed at 10. Instead of apologizing for the inconvenience, this staff member proceeded to dismiss all of us and argue that the Google hours are correct and that we all were wrong even after being shown the website it’s incorrect hours. She could definitely use some training in customer service.

Visited here while on vacation visiting family. Super fun and great staff! Had a good variety of boulder options (slabs, overhangs and I even found a couple traverse problems) and we had a lot of fun on the auto-belay routes as well. Definitely recommend filling out the waiver before hand since there is a thoroughly informative video you have to watch first.
