Central Rock Gym

Atlanta's newest rock climbing gym. Part of the incredible Stone summit chain, this bouldering only gym has four caves, two slabs, and possibly the best route setting on the east coast. Walls are by waltopia and the holds are very good quality, they have the best volumes. The wall texture volume texture and hold texture is very new and rough, takes a lot of skin. Right now December 2022 they have the opening set, which I hope will be indicative of future route setting, but right now it's phenomenal with half a dozen dynamic moves, dozens of mantles and heel hooks and everything you could want for a great training session. The facility itself is built in an old shipping center, the walls are not quite as tall as the other gyms, and the ceiling is a little low, but it does not seem to affect the quality of the route setting. This is a bare Bones gym, they have a spray wall in the back with a tension board, campus boards, and a good variety of training boards overall. They also have a freestanding pull up bar which can be used for muscle ups and things like that. The gym is small and it does not appear there is a yoga room or a party room. This Jim is set up to train hard climbing and comp style climbing. There is a large section of the wall that is reserved for training the comp kids weekdays for certain hours and will be closed to the public. Stone summit is one of the most important feeder gyms for the USA climbing team and professional climbing teams in this country. The variety of holds and quantity of problems is impressive. Currently they do not have snacks or drinks, only a water fountain and chalk for sale. They have very nice showers, but there is no soap. The amenities are limited but the quality of the climbing is excellent. I hope they can maintain the quality of route setting that is currently there with the opening set.

Went here for the first time in months. This facility is brand new and very dirty. A lot of the holds are very slippery and lacking texture - they either are just insanely trafficked or been up for a long time or both. Every....single....wall had so little to climb. The setting was pretty good for the little problems on the wall. Almost blank walls with 5-6 problems a wall (some more dense than others.) Just seems like they should have a lot more on the walls, ended up climbing everything I wanted in an hour which is wild.

Great Bouldering gym. It's fairly new so the holds and walls are in great condition. 1/5 of the gym is set every Tuesday and also part of it is always kept as a comp set for the teams that train here. There is also a minimal weight training setup with a few benches, 4 racks, some plates, and dumbells. The staff are also super friendly

The bouldering is fantastic, but they should have some easier routes mixed in with the difficult ones for beginners. On the other hand, the belay routes seemed to be too easy. I need to go back and see if I was just missing something there. The gym is huge and well kept. I would recommend this place.

Friendly staff in a great environment. Well-set boulders, varying styles. Climbing is a fun way to build strength, especially compared to a traditional gym! I loved climbing trees as a kid and now i've discovered a different kind of climbing that's even more fun and challenging and social. I love this place!
