From the reviews

Great beginner/introductionary gym. I was greeted with the family by a very friendly staff, and they have a good mix of route styles. I highly recommend this gym if it is your first year bouldering or if you regularly project under v5 outside. There are a lot of low level routes to project here.

Bigfoot Climbing Gym has been a wonderful addition to our family's active life! We bought our entire family a year membership as a Christmas gift, and have never regretted it!

★★★★★ — Sandra, Nov 2020

I have been awaiting the grand opening and hoping ti really dig it because of its proximity to Hickory. I was not disappointed. The setters have done a great job so far! There's enough to keep me busy for quite awhile. I really like the dedicated party room with its own bouldering wall for the squirts!

★★★★★ — Crystal, Feb 2020

This gym is awesome! The route setting is diverse, and fun for all levels. It’s a great place to bring kids or youth groups. Also a great place to train hard and get strong. Great community of Climbers and friendly staff.
