  • This place was alright. I have been to climbing gyms throughout the San Francisco, Oakland, Portland, Chicago, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Paris and while they all have their quirks, a couple things about Inner Peaks bugged me. As a disclaimer, this is only in reference to bouldering as I did not do any top roping at Inner Peaks. I was surprised that they never asked my friend and I if we had climbed before. A lot of gyms, once they find out that you've been climbing for a while, don't bother with a safety rundown, just a waiver and you're off. Inner Peaks didn't ask any questions, and instead had us watch a video and go through a tour/orientation after signing their waiver. This isn't that bad, but instead of being informative about the gym, both the video and orientation just repeated that climbing is dangerous a bunch of times. Most gyms have different ways of marking problems, but what they do not tend to vary is the grading system. In North America, the Hueco "V" scale is generally used, and it is indeed in use at Inner Peaks. The difficulty is that they have most of their routes labeled with a points system. There is a legend on the wall that converts their points to the "V" scale, which isn't very intuitive. This was not mentioned at all during our orientation. The other thing was the general vibe of the place. This is kind of hard to describe and could absolutely be the conditions of the particular day that I went. One thing that I really like about climbing is that, for the most part, the community is very laid back, friendly and enthusiastically helpful. The staff here was nice, but seemed totally uninterested in what they were doing. Maybe they found the orientation process to be annoying too. Beyond that, the other people in the gym were not the typical friendly climbing bunch that I'm used to. I got the feeling that they were bothered that I was in their space. It all felt very unwelcoming. In general, the facility has a decent amount of bouldering and looks to have some good lead climbing and top roping. It's not a very social bunch, but like I said, that could have just been the conditions of that particular day. It seems to be the best climbing gym in Charlotte though, so if you're in the area, give it a go and maybe you'll have a better experience than I did.
