About

The Climbing Place

The Climbing Place is North Carolina's oldest and most well know climbing gym. Our gym was designed in the early 1990's when plywood was considered the best material to build with. The Climbing Place has withstood the test of time and to this day is going strong! Over the years, TCP has added many new walls and features in order to meet the high demands of today’s modern climbers and boulders.

Currently, we have 20,000 square feet of climbing: top rope, bouldering, top out, ledge, traverse, Ninja Warrior, obstacles, slacklines, military ropes, campus boards, and even a cargo net . We offer more than 50 top ropes as well as lead climbing for the more advanced climbers. One of the more interesting features is our 300+ foot gym traverse and 600 feet if you go back. We have a dedicated birthday party area to host your party and much more.

Finally, our Mission at The Climbing Place is to make Climbing and bouldering a fun and wholesome activity for the entire family to enjoy.
