I just started climbing regularly a few months ago and stopped by this gym while visiting Charleston. It was AMAZING. The climbs were challenging and even as a beginner, there was so much for me to do. I ended up staying almost 3 hours on my day pass and am still sore. Their COVID protocol was great and in addition to mask wearing, one entire wall was open which let in a nice salty breeze. 10/10 experience! I will have to stop by again the next time I am in Charleston.

Great friendly place. I took a quick class with Anna and she really helped me with giving a more in depth tour, terminology, specific techniques I should work on, and overall all was just non intimidating nice person. I was able to climb something I wouldn't have been able to without her encouragement and pointers. It was a lot of fun and I got more out of it than I did researching by myself on YouTube.

This place is the absolute bomb. They’ve got great pricing, a wider variety of climbing gear to purchase than a lot of gyms, and despite it being bouldering only they have a lot of equipment to use. It also seems like everyone here knows what climbing culture is all about which not a lot of gyms have. Finally, all the problems are so much fun, have a great flow, and the grades are fairly consistent. The route setters here definitely know what they’re doing. Great atmosphere, great gym

Went and took a class to see how I’d like it, I wasn’t expecting much. The class lasted an hour and I learned so much. I took the class by myself and had a 1 on 1 class with Kirsten who has been climbing for 10 years. The building is clean and well kept. There’s only bouldering here but for me that’s a plus to not have to worry or deal with harnesses. All in all wonderful experience and I ended up joining the gym after the class.

When I first visited Coastal Climbing, it had been awhile since I’d been climbing so I decided to take a Quick Class to get a refresher and a solid introduction to the gym. Best decision I could have made! My instructor, Kirsten, was friendly, professional, and overall a joy to learn from. She was very patient when I needed to rest, encouraged me when I struggled, and celebrated my successes with me. This may be the only bouldering gym in Charleston, but it’s the only one you need! Highly recommend for beginner and experienced climbers alike.

Having not been in two years due to COVID, I was pleasantly surprised they had done some upgrades and expansions. Three kilter walls and basically a full training facility on top of the border and they already offer. …
