From the reviews
My friend and I (Pennsylvania’s who vacationed to Tucson) went on a guided climbing excursion with Eric for a whole day trip on mt Lemmon (epic climbing location!). As beginner/intermediate climbers, we learned SO much. Eric is a very knowledgeable/experienced climber (AMGA SPI).
My daughter and I worked out here extensively 5 years ago and loved the place. We've recently started climbing again and Rocks and Ropes is still wonderful. Friendly staff, good training, friendly atmosphere and constantly changing routes. There are always a good number of routes for all abilities.
Have been indoor climbing since 2017 in different places (Touchstone Climbing etc.) in Boston, LA, SF. After I moved to Tucson, I thought I'm gonna check out Rocks & Ropes and I did not get disappointed. Such a cool climbing gym.
My wife and I are from out of state and went here on a rainy day last week. Luke at the counter took us through the new person orientation and it was very professional, complete, and unhurried. He also checked back in with us later in the day to see if any new questions had come up. Great customer service!
