What's inside
“The ceilings are way too short for even bouldering, it subsequently means they can only set really short routes.”

From the reviews
A Climber's Dream Come True! A Stellar Bouldering Gym for All Skill Levels! I am absolutely thrilled with the opening of this incredible new bouldering gym in our area.
We had a blast at Capital Climbing Cayce. This is a great, locally owned bouldering gym that has fun routes at all difficulty levels. The kilter board ensures you have an infinite number of possibilities too. I'd recommend this gym to any climber in the Columbia area.
Great clean and well designed gym. Don't let the lack of size in the gym deter you. The setting, wall angles, and use of space more than make of for the size. The Kilter board is a great addition to the area as well.
I had a lovely time climbing at Capital Climbing Cayce. I'm so glad that Columbia has a high quality bouldering gym (finally). The staff was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive. It may be small, but they more than make up for it with great route setting.
