An article highlighting the country’s top climbing gyms released online this weekend by the sport’s leading magazine featured a Chattanooga venue.

High Point Climbing Gym earned a spot in Climbing Magazine’s, “America’s 10 Best Climbing Gyms.”

Gyms from places around the country like Utah, New York, Missouri are also featured in the piece.

The article, penned by Shannon Davis and Elliott Natz, appeared in the magazine’s print edition earlier this year. It describes High Point as, “perhaps the only gym in the country to offer indoor and outdoor climbing right on site.”

“In a staff visit, Climbing editors loved how the gym’s rooms were organized for bouldering, instruction, toproping, lead climbing, and training,” the article reads.
