UpTown Climbing

First time attending here might be a bit intimidating, but this place is awesome. U like some places, like trampoline parks with a limited pathing. This place has everything. The belay systems are key for beginners. It allows u to climb high and get used to climbing which as a beginner u need. You can get tired, YOU WILL GET TIRED, and u can let go. There are more advanced systems that require a skills check and a partner to simulate more realistic climbing. Best part are day passes unlike alot of places unless it's the early day pass. Day pass gets u in till close so u can leave and come back which is awesome. There's also memberships just like a real gym. Honestly I think this is better than a traditional gym. My forearms were swollen from the first real stress they were put through. I also feel it's more rewarding bc trust me some of the climbs are difficult. Day passes are 16$ and 14$ for military, 1st responders, students, and police. U can rent a harness and shoes for 5$ and bring your own. There's also a mini gym to get a bit of variance for "members only". Id generally consider switching from anytime but being an hr away unfortunately prob not realistic. This location also has its own gym dogs. Id HIGHLY recommend bringing anyone over 9 for the experience!!!

Baton Rouge desperately needed a climbing gym. I think this is the first review I've ever written on google for anything, but I love this place so much I felt obligated to let others know. Uptown is a state of the art climbing gym offering everything from bouldering, auto belays, top roping, and lead climbing to yoga and general fitness. I've been a member of the UpTown Climbing gym and community since September 2017, and after about a year and a half I can honestly say this place just keeps getting better and better. Most of this is due to the staff. They do an excellent job of creating a welcoming environment, and teaching the skills needed to have fun and stay safe. The routes are always creative and challenging, and the community is incredible. If you haven't visited yet, do yourself a favor and give this place a shot. You won't regret it!

Great customer service. Quick to get through the safety introduction for experienced climbers. Also have auto belays for beginners. Nice tall climbs about 50 feet or so. Climbed all over the world and this ranks among top five gyms. They have lead ropes available for experienced climbers. Small leading area from 5.9 the 5.12. Good bouldering area. Would climb if lived within 45 minutes.
