What climbers say again and again
“Such a welcoming environment to come into as a solo female learning the ropes (pun intended) for the first time.”
“The collegiate competitions are also very affordable and have great opportunities to win free gear, which most of us could not otherwise afford.”

From the reviews
We did the Top Rope 101 class, this was our very first introduction to climbing, and it was great! Our instructor Julie was amazing, she was so kind, and patient with us. She was super informative and went over everything multiple times, making sure that we understood and could climb safely.
Were down in St. Louis for VEX Worlds 2026 from North Dakota with 2 Rovotics teams. My Group wanted to Roclclimb this evening so we ventured out. The staff was awesome, and very helpful getting us juat what we needed. The location was nicely sized and had plenty of room for quite a few people.
Upper Limits has been so fantastic in accomodating college students! The general manager at Maryland Heights (Holly) is so extremely helpful in making climbing accessible for our student climbing club. She keeps costs low for college students (which is fantastic, because most of us couldn't afford to climb otherwise!
Great Everest Birthday party package. Kids had a blast! Upper Limits did a wonderful job introducing them to climbing and getting the kids on the wall to build confidence. Cupcakes and Goodie Bags included so Parents can enjoy the Party and not worrying about stress of planning. Ordered pizza from down the street..
