About Grodzki
Grodzki grew up in Boston, Massachusetts. His roots in climbing and route setting go hand-in-hand, having started both seven years ago at his hometown gym, Carabiner’s Climbing & Fitness in New Bedford, Massachusetts. From there, he transitioned to work for MetroRock Climbing Centers, moving to the Scenic City a year ago. Today, he manages route setting for both the downtown and riverside locations of High Point, as well as runs the route setting website ticktapetighten.com.
Ever wonder who installs those thousands of ever-changing climbing holds at the gym? So did we. So we caught up with Cody Grodzki, director of High Point Climbing and Fitness’ route setting team, to talk about all things route setting. Here’s what he said:
Get Out: What brought you to Chattanooga?
Cody Grodzki: The climbing area around here, as I’m sure you’ve heard from a lot of people, is arguably the best on the East Coast, depending on the style of climbing you want to do and the lifestyle you want to live.
GO: We definitely agree. Tell us about your job at High Point.
