The Climbing Wall at James Island County Park — Attraction in Charleston

Really fun spot and the only rope options in the low country of south Carolina! cool angles and very attentive staff!

They have climbing teams that they push well and challenge in different ways!

A few suggestions:

Route setting- some of the route are a little difficult to determine what is on and what is off. I also encountered a climbing that was half way taken down already😬 there were some spinners and cracked holds, but I understand the outdoor conditions can be brutal on the equipment. Additionally, these grades are fairly sandbagged. They are about two grades harder than labeled, so take that into consideration when visiting as a intermediate climber. I.E a 5.9 here climbs like a 5.11 elsewhere.

Boulder Cave- this is an area that has some awesome potential! would love to see this area given the TLC it needs. But until then, I wouldn't allow general public to go in there. Someone could seriously hurt themselves if they don't know what they are doing and there were many wasp nests.

My experience was all around positive, but most importantly, BRING SOME BUG SPRAY lol the mosquitos are relentless!!!

Glad to see Charleston has a place that makes rope climbing...

There are VERY few options to climb now as the park only has 10 harnesses per day. They apparently have to be quarantined instead of being disinfected. I went by on a day they were "booked solid" and there were 2 people climbing, 2 hrs later there was not a single person on the wall... Turns out Charleston Co parks are THE best funded in the state. Why push to provide services when they can instead take it...

We went with a group of 10 for a bachelor party and had a blast. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the facilities are clean with a diverse mix of easier and more challenging options. If you're going with a big group you may want to consider a weekday, since you can't fully reserve the space and weekends might...
