Coastal Climbing Gym
Reviews
I love Coastal Climbing! I have been a climber for 15 years, and when I first moved to Charleston, I had to build a home wall because there was no climbing gyms. Thanks to all the hard work of Kensie and Jeanna Whitfield I have moved out of my hot garage and now have a great place to climb and build community. I am stoked by the positive people who motivate me to try harder and improve my climbing. I am encouraged every time I see so many new members (of all ages) who are hungry to learn and grow in the sport. They have a joyful spirit and bring me back to my first days of enjoying climbing for the purity of movement and the challenge. The member mixers are great and help us relax and enjoy the vibe of sharing something we all love. My daughters (Rayna 10 & Chloe 8) love coming to Coastal with me. The door greeters (Shadow & Diesel), the resident canines, bring them such joy! So grab a friend and come join me for a great workout! I am the guy with the big beard and a smile :)
Facilities aren't bad but terrible customer service. I felt like my money was welcome but I wasn't. I was a long time customer and my concerns were first treated like an annoyance and ignored then later taken personally and met with yelling and insults. Rock climbing is amazing and this facility is pretty good for a city without a climbing culture, but the attitude of the owners makes me feel like it's a shame that this place doesn't have any competition on the peninsula.
Great place for indoor climbing. They have plenty of games to play while your muscles take a break. They even had bottled yerba mate for a good energizer. Warm environment and friendly staff.
chill vibe, good crew, nice problems.
Best bouldering gym I have been to in the southeast. Gets you prepped to climb outside, great community, and awesome people to connect with. I used to miss out on climbing whenever I visited Charleston, but not anymore. Great gym to get strong at, and a great gym if you are just getting started.
