Rocknasium

The Rocknasium is an indoor rock climbing gym and pro-shop with rock climbing gear.

Rocknasium is brand new! It’s their 20th anniversary so to celebrate they’ve built an entirely new gym just a couple of doors down from the original gym. It is bigger, better, steeper and more modern with over 8000+ square feet of climbing. There are more topropes and more leading - including a huge new roof arch and an insane stalactite feature, AND a new 16 foot tall bouldering wall with 47 degrees of overhang. They kept the pro-shop and added a dedicated new yoga room, and a nice hot shower. Prices and hours are the same as always. Check the website, blog, and Facebook for more information and updates on additions to the new gym.

Check out their website for a full rundown of the rates, but a day pass is $14 for an adult, $12 for students/military and cheaper for young kids. A monthly membership is $42 for adults, and $34 for students, and gives you unlimited access to the climbing gym and workout gear (weights and machines), as well as some other perks. Rocknasium also offers rental gear for climbing, including shoes ($4), harnesses ($3), and chalk bags ($1) - the whole package is $6.

If you haven't been to the Rocknasium before you can find their waiver online and be ready to go when you get to the gym. This is especially helpful for kid's birthday parties and group events where parents need to fill out waivers for their children beforehand.

2009-04-04 20:10:03   I was looking for something to do with my 4.5 year old daughter, I proposed Rocknasium and she was quite excited after I explained. The staff was extremely friendly, helped her into a body harness, and quickly reviewed my knots and belay technique. I sent her to the counter because her shoes were too big, and she came back very pleased with her new shoes. After 3 attempts she made it to the top of the easiest wall after gaining some confidence from watching an 8 year old get to the top. One of the staff gave her a high 5 and congratulated her. A birthday arrived as we were leaving and they gave us a sticker and tattoo (which she is now proudly wearing). I asked her about her favorite part and she mentioned ringing the bell. I asked her how it felt and after some thought she said it made her feel proud. So all in all it was a cheap ($5 for under 5 year olds + $3 for equipment) and fun afternoon made better by a friendly staff. —BillBroadley
