“The routes are creative, frequently updated, and cater to both pros and first-timers.”
“Staff is super nice, its always clean, and my son loves it there.”
“Great climbing gym, huge place with lots of different routes for both bouldering and traditional rock climbing.”
From the reviews
A professional mountain climbing club in middle of the city. They charge minimal fees. Even if you are not willing to pay they will allow you to enter and use the facility. Idea is giving the community and in return they expect us to give our time to community. Not only monetary means.
We very much enjoyed climbing at Memphis Rox during our anniversary trip to Memphis. Great sets with lots of variety. They have an extensive bouldering area as well as top rope. The orientation was thorough, but not long. And they offer belay classes if you aren’t already familiar with the process. We will be back!
The atmosphere is always amazing here. It's a beautiful organization with incredibly down to earth staff. A couple of years later... I love it even more than day 1. Having gotten to know the staff, they are family at this point! I highly highly suggest joining in the fun here!
Such an awesome place! My 10 year old is hooked! The staff are all friendly and helpful. Great vibes and so many different routes to climb. (Picture only shows about half). They have a great free climbing/ bouldering area as well!
