From the reviews

As a former member of Riveter, I was a little hesitant to sign up for Fiddlehead after seeing some of the reviews online. But after climbing at Fiddlehead numerous times over the last couple of months, I felt compelled to leave a review. In my personal opinion, the new management improved the space itself.

★★★★★ — Sarah, May 2025

My Happy Place - Outstanding Value and Community I’ve been a member since the reopening/rebranding, and what started as a great deal on climbing has become so much more.

★★★★★ — Richard, Jan 2026

Friendly welcome from desk staff, Climbing gym staff seemed like genuinely down to earth and nice people. Routes were fun and plenty of variety for a few hours of solid climbs. My kids loved the slide and root beer floats from the cafe. Restrooms are clean and plenty of space to shower/change etc if needed.

★★★★★ — August, Jul 2025

Great gym, reasonable prices, friendly staff! Plus, the kids area is top notch! Glad to have Fiddlehead in Asheville 🙌🏼 Would love to see them open Saturdays, but Sundays are great too!
