I visited this gym while passing through Lafayette on a road trip. The routes are much more like outdoor climbing than comp style, and there was a good variety of intermediate level climbs. The gym is a bit small compared to commercial bouldering gyms, but the routesetting and the staff were great.
Birthday parties at Southern Stone Indoor Climbing
Southern Stone Indoor Climbing hosts birthday parties, going by their listing and visitor reviews. 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.
