What's inside
“The inside seems to be designed for bouldering mostly, but there are some vertical walls and auto belays as well.”
“Every Tuesday, there's always a bunch of kids which take up pretty much all of the auto belays and a good 3rd of avaiable short walls.”

From the reviews
I went there to get a day pass for my son and ended up getting a membership and .......I ended up getting membership for myself after hardly a week going there with my son. They have a family discount if an additional member of the family wanted to join.
Loved it! The bouldering area was sizable, with great route setting and a few nice wall features. I didn't spend too much time on the top-rope section, but it was fun. The top-rope walls were on the smaller size, but they are building some 55ft walls in the back as I type.
The new location is a clear upgrade from the old crown point location. Plenty of parking outside. The inside seems to be designed for bouldering mostly, but there are some vertical walls and auto belays as well. The south end location is clearly the place to go for rope climbing though.
Their new Matthews location is great. It looks like they are still building some new walls so I'm looking forward to that. They have a huge bouldering area. The exercise room is a big improvement over the old Monroe Rd location. It's a great place for the family.
Birthday parties at Inner Peaks Matthews
Inner Peaks Matthews 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.
Kids classes & camps at Inner Peaks Matthews
Reviews and the gym's own info mention kids programs at Inner Peaks Matthews — climbing classes, school-break camps, or a youth team where kids learn technique from coaches instead of just scrambling around. Program schedules and age groups change each season, so check the current lineup before you plan around one.
