Letter from the owners of Climbing Roots Bouldering Gym as buildout is underway.

The church gymnasium transformation has finally begun. We had brainstormed countless wall layouts that would preserve the original running track but none would allow for an optimal climbing experience. I think you can see how the space is opening up as the track is carefully removed piece by piece. Some may be morning the loss of make shift pickle ball courts and roller skating rinks but we are filled with nothing but encouragement by everyone we speak to from the community. This will soon be another warm gathering place for all those who live and play in south Knox. With the big walls revealing themselves, our imagination is now filled with paint choices, furnishing options, and space for murals. What do you see?

Our wall builders, Vertical Solutions, are scheduled to start the instillation of the climbing walls in February. In the mean time we are working hard on all the many pieces it takes to create a climbing gym, from air filtration systems to staff interviews to soap dispensers to fitness equipment and so much more. We are excited about every step of the way. Join us in our stoke by visiting the website, climbingroots.com. Consider joining the community early by purchasing a pre-opening 10 punch pass on sale, originally $190, right now for $165. Just click here. With the purchase of the pass, you also get a ticket to the invite only pre opening party (date TBD).
Climb On!
