High Point Climbing and Fitness - Cleveland — Attraction in Cleveland

Not good routesetting as of October 7, 2021. For a gym this size, it certainly felt very limited in scope and style. The yellow tags are the easiest (besides vB), representing v0-1, which was accurate in difficulty. There were only 6 routes of this grade though, so not only was there not enough to warm up on, beginners don't have much to do either. Green tag represent v2-3, and these were surprisingly difficult. There were many moves that had very insecure feet or strength moves that would make these impossible for many folks. Orange tag represents v4-5 - these routes are extremely challenging, and could be compared to v6-7 in other gyms. I could not complete any of these routes, despite being able to flash most v4&5 routes in other gyms (I've been to at least 30 gyms). Other climbers I spoke to voiced similar concerns. Many of these problems had bad feet over large holds, so the risk of injury was a factor. Couldn't speak to higher grades, but after orange there were 3 more tag colors. Can't imagine how insanely difficult those are, and probably only a handful of people who can do them. In 3 hours I only saw 3 "serious" climbers and the rest kids.

Having hard routes is not a problem. The issue with this gym is that they over graded the routes, and didn't have enough easier routes to occupy beginner and intermediate climbers, such as myself. This is both frustrating and disappointing. The gym has a lot of potential.

The front of the gym has a kids section that was very noisy, they should put a wall to block the sound.

The quality of the holds is very good, everything is brand new. The walls are extremely rough in texture. There is limited overhang and no ceiling. There is a lot of straight walls and two spots that are slabby. There are "top rope" and "auto belays" on one spot, but it's the same height as the bouldering wall, so seems like a kids feature. The staff was very friendly and facility overall is gorgeous. Routesetting 2/10, gym...

I’ve been to over 50+ climbing gyms all across the US. This gym easily has some of the best route setting that I’ve ever seen. A lot of times route setters will use jugs and an occasional juggy crimp for a beginner climb and make it very straight forward. Then for moderate climbs they’ll use roughly the same holds and easy to understand movement and just spread it apart to make it harder but not this gym. This gym for the easy and moderate climbs has such fun movement. The route setters really deserve raise. Caiden was the one working today and he provided 10/10 customer service really cool dude. Unfortunately there has to be some negatives though. Reading some of the other reviews I could see how someone that climbs V4 and under or is new to climbing could have a hard time at this gym because the climbs do have some more advanced movement for the grade. Personally I think it’s good that the setters are doing this because it will teach you more advanced movement but with comfy holds. Luckily I wasn’t looking to try hard today there isn’t that many climbs that are V8 and above which is a bummer considering how good the route setting is at the easier grades. My only other problem is there is a lack of walls that are 40% or more but there’s not much that can be done about that. Overall though I would recommend this gym for all levels of climbers just be aware that if your new and have climbed at other gyms you may find yourself a little frustrated. If your at an advance level in climbing then have fun because very rarely do you get to have a good time climbing...

Today we took our 6 year old grand daughter to high point climbing and got her a 7 day pass on that fact that she loves to climb up on everything and I thought this would be great for her. So we got all the formalities completed and told us the rules of the floor. Speaking at an incredible rate of speed. We are then released for my grand daughter to start her climbing. After she had tried for short time she is starting to cry, but still wanted to try to do it. She tells me she is not going to ever be able to do in tears. Then tells me she is ready to leave and never come back.

So at that time I go to Staley if they gave refunds or even a partial refund and was told not after 15 mins.

So for 15 minutes of climbing without knowing there won't be a refund in that time the nearly $100 spent won't even be partially refunded past the 1st day. They'll let me sign her up for camp though for another $135! They did not even come over and try to give her a few pointers on...
