About

High Point Riverside

High Point Riverside is one of High Point Climbing and Fitness's gyms in the Chattanooga area, alongside the downtown flagship and the Cleveland gym. The building on Appling Street opened as Urban Rocks Gym and now trades under the High Point name, with the same address and phone number.

Climbing

The gym has bouldering, top-rope, auto-belay and lead climbing, plus training areas. As Urban Rocks it advertised around 10,000 sq ft of climbing surface, walls up to 35 ft, more than 100 rope routes and 3,000 sq ft of top-out bouldering. Reviewers mention plenty of boulder problems, varied auto-belay routes, a challenging lead section and boards upstairs for training.

Courses and programmes

  • Belay and lead classes: a top-rope belay class for newcomers (minimum age 11) and a lead class for climbers comfortable on 5.10 (14 and over)
  • Clinics: skills sessions such as anchor cleaning for outdoor sport climbing
  • Youth: recreational clubs and development and competition teams for ages 4 to 18, and holiday camps for ages 5 to 14
  • Weekly nights: Ladies Night on Thursdays and Student Night on Fridays, both with half-price day passes after 4pm, and discounted entry for the Chattanooga Queer Climbers meet-up when it meets here
  • Groups: birthday parties, corporate and team-building bookings and lock-ins

A day pass costs $24, or $31 with shoes and harness. Monthly memberships cover either Riverside alone or every High Point gym in Tennessee and Alabama, and seven-visit punch cards are sold too.
