From the reviews

This is the most amazing indoor rock climbing gym I’ve ever visited. We have visited more than our fair share of gyms. The canyon room walls allowed for crazy movement and I loved the route descriptions instead of just a grade.

★★★★★ — Tara, Jul 2022

I’ve never been so stoked to climb indoors! This gym is everything that I have looked for previously in a gym. They have awesome lead climbing on long routes (with tons of natural light from the giant skylights), and a bouldering and training area downstairs.

★★★★★ — Alex, Jun 2022

Awesome place! Staff is incredibly nice and helpful, the routes are fun and the skylight is the cherry on top. Check this place out if you climb!

★★★★★ — Jack, Aug 2022

This place is really nice. They have 2 rooms with rope climbing. Last time I went they had at least 6 auto belays. Downstairs is the bouldering pit. They usually have a really good variety and name their routes, usually a bit of humor to their route naming. Their slabs are really nice. True to form grading.

Birthday parties at Cleveland Rocks Climbing

Cleveland Rocks Climbing hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
