I’ve been climbing here for a little over a year. The staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. The facility is really fun, clean and safe. They set new routes very consistently. I recommend High Point to all of my friends.

Clean facility with a decent amount of top rope stations and high walls. I love that there are separate bouldering and kids areas so that everyone has their space and climbs safe. My only complaint is how the top ropes are set up. Some of them are very difficult or even impossible to take slack out of as the climber ascends and difficult to lower the climber when finished. We gave up on a few routes because it was just too much work trying to belay. My workout should come from the climb not belaying my partner.

Best climbing gym in Birmingham. Amazing top and lead roping. Great boulder room. The route setting is phenomenal

Fun. Professional and friendly staff. Awesome climbing.of multiple skill levels.

High Point is the best climbing gym in Birmingham. Their facility is world class and they have everything you could ever want as a beginner, or an advanced climber. Moon board, boulder, ropes, lead climbing, a full gym, spray wall, hang boards, and campus board. They have it all! This gym is a wonderful place and is set up well for kids, climbers, and people who just want to have a fun afternoon trying something new. I cannot recommend this facility enough. If you spend any time traveling around south east, they also have locations all over which you can climb at if you have a membership.

Righteous 🤙🏿, kinda wish the tall room had less ropes though

Stopped in to see your place and Riley at the front desk was amazing. Very friendly and personable. Just moved from Illinois and he made me feel welcomed. You dont find this kind of customer service where Im from. Thanks again Riley.

Awesome climbing. Staff is super helpful and always willing to give advice too

Awesome climbing routes and friendly staff! So thankful for this place!

The staff was super friendly. We were thankful for the allowed medical exemption to not have to wear masks that is posted on their front door. So glad that companies like Highpoint understand health concerns for athletes!

Clean, well-kept, well staffed; kids room, cardio room, weights room, circuit walls, bouldering, pull up bars, and stretching space. This gym literally has it all, although because of that it sometimes gets a little crowded :-). 5 out of 5, would recommend!

Great time at a Birthday party today!! Super knowledgeable and helpful staff!

This place is awesome for adults and kids. You can pay by the day or you can do a monthly membership. They have walls up to 55 feet high. They have an aerobic workout room, they have a weightlifting room. They have yoga classes and a sauna. The only thing missing is something to eat and a smoothie bar. Your on 280 so you could take a break for a minute and anything that tickles your fancy is practically within a 5 minutes drive.

Always a great time. Climbing walls are clean and changed weekly. Check out their exercise classes too👀!

Only place Ive been to like this but seems hard to beat

Beware draconian belay certification rules. It was my first time here. Its bee a while. Me: Id like to get checked out to belay, but I need a few minutes to review, Gym: No, you have to do it when you first get here. We dont want you to review then come take the test. My girlfriend needed some pointers from me. Gym: No, you cant talk before the test because that would consititute instruction. And only our instructors can teach Me: ok, can we go outside and talk about belay before we take the testAside from all of that: it was a nice climbing gym. ~6 auto belay top ropes. A good kids climbing area with auto belay.

The staff are helpful and encouraging, the facility is easy enough for beginners to get started without intimidation, and endless levels of challenge keep boredom away. The whole family enjoyed it for hours... Ages 5-39!

Great staff, great facilities (highest walls Ive seen and Ive been to over 10 gyms) and reasonable prices. Especially enjoyed the large kids play area.

My boys LOVE when we all go climbing together. Great staff and AMAZING climbing rooms!!

A really great climbing gym overall, but with a few faults. The first thing was that the website needs to be better formatted, especially the classes section of it. The second thing is you have to be 14 to go into the bouldering area. I love bouldering, but I couldnt go in room and only had the small wall in the kids room. The third thing is that when I called, I ended up spending over an hour on the phone with multiple workers who provided contradictory information from each other. Eventually, I talked to Logan, and I figured out what I needed to know and ended up coming with a group and on autobelays.The kids area is great. The skyscrapers are fun, and all of the small games on the wall are great. I spent a couple of hours on the timed wall, and after some great tips from some of the staff, I got my time down to 5.09 seconds. The main room was one of the best climbing area I have ever seen. The ratings on the walls helped me know what ratings I could climb outdoors. It was one of the greatest climbing experiences.

Very very friendly staff. They make new routes just about every two weeks and the atmosphere here among all the members is incredible.

Never knew this place existed. Great place for beginners and expert climbers alike. Has weight room, auto belay walls. Walls that require someone to belay and free climb walls. Plus great tumbling area. And really fun kid zone. Definitely a place to go. And great way to get in shape.

High Point is one of three rock climbing gym and the only top rope gym in Birmingham, which is why it is so sad that their systems pose a safety risk for kids.The biggest thing that bothers me about this gym is their use of tightened adult harnesses on children. Kids have a higher center of gravity and most kids under five/under 80 lbs should be in full body harnesses so they don’t flip upside down. I’ve seen so many small children in adult harnesses with the extra material flapping around or tucked in. Every other gym I’ve been to has appropriately sized full body harnesses to rent out for the kids. Come on High Point! As all the posters say, climbing is inherently dangerous. This means that you should take every precaution to mitigate the risk.Otherwise, the top rope setting is decent but there can be a wide variation in grades that can get frustrating when trying to train using a pyramid approach. The bouldering setting is a strength workout. I don’t find many of the boulder problems fun to do and there aren’t many if any technique focused problems at any point; they’re all big move and pull yourself up the wall strength problems. This doesn’t bother me much, though, because I’m not a big boulderer.

Kids love it! But little pricy

Kids loved it

Well run place and a big focus on safety. Went here for a birthday and had a great time. My son didnt climb so well at first but did OK in the end. Will definitely go back on our own and try it again.

Great place. Knowledgeable staff with an emphasis on safety, especially for kids. Two thumbs up.

Need to pay attention to the fine print. I signed My son and was told I can freeze at any point and even called the facility to get help on how to freeze account.I was considering freeze or cancel. If I known they still charged a fee to hold the membership I would have cancelled. Went ahead and cancelled it right away.Poor service and not full disclosure when presenting options like freeze

Great gym and fair price. I live out of town but still go four to five times a year. I just wish Auburn was big enough to have one here.

This place is very fun and challenging at the same time. Great place for kids and adults.Perfect for all skill level climbers and first timers.I cant say enough about this facility, it is impressive. Well worth the money.

You surely get the most bang for your buck with the membership here. They have all kind of rock climbing activities, yoga, and a work out gym at a reasonable price. The route setting is pretty good too. Highly recommended!

AWESOM Mate go dare

Great family fun and exercise.

Ive been climbing almost every day after getting the membership for the last 4 months. Ive been happy with my experience. I mainly use the bouldering room and the workout equipment. Both I and my bother who climbs with me have really enjoyed ourselves and the membership price is very affordable for us.

Amazing Staff with a heart for great customer service. They always go to the extreme to make sure your time there is pleasant. On top of the staff there the other members there a very friendly and will help you figure out how complete the route you are attempting. Over all Great Place that you never want to leave!

My Daughter and myself had a great time. When can really see where your skill level is very quickly. The Prices when consider you can leave and come for the entire day are very good. I will be going back very soon

I have worked and climbed in facilities all over the country. High Point Birmingham is truly a state of the art facility with professional and courteous employees. There is a full gym included with membership or day pass purchase, and a schedule of regular yoga classes with great instructors. Whether youre brand new to climbing, interested in a birthday party or group package, or an experienced climber, you will find what youre looking for here.

This place is great! They change routes often to keep things interesting. The place is clean and cooled. A great place to try out climbing or be serious about it.

Fun fun place to get a workout

So much fun! We spent most of our time in the kids area, which is a lot of fun for adults too.

Great place for kids and adults to have some good clean fun. Party room was good size and clean, albeit far too warm for the day and activity level.

Seems more geared towards rope climbing as the name suggests. They also have a very nice kids area. The bouldering area is very much not beginner friendly, and its not a place to learn technique. I would suggest Birmingham Boulders. Ill probably not be going back to High Point.

Great place for learning to sport climb also has bouldering, and an awesome kids area.

Wonderful staff. Great facility. Fun for the whole family. We take our whole family from 4-13. We have received great coaching and formed great friendships.

Been climbing for a little over a month. This place is awsome. Everyone is friendly and extremely helpful (staff and climbers)!

This place is great! Tons of routes and a wonderfully friendly staff. My wife and I come up from Mobile to climb here.

Great place to climb, especially when the weather is unfavorable. The routes are changed periodically, which allows new challenges for regular members. I typically climb and boulder on natural rock, so I cant say I fully agree with all of the difficulty rankings, but the staff do a great job setting up a wide variety of routes and boulder problems. I wish that members had an option to bring in whoever they want for a guest pass, but guest passes can only be used for an individual who has never been to the gym.

I came here for a birthday party. Im terrified of heights and climbing scares me really bad. Its just my anxiety, so dont use my review to decide whether youre going to go or not.

Amazing. Had so much fun at this place that I took the basic belaying class. I highly recommend this place to anyone considering it.

Best gym in town. Best rock climbing gym i have been too.

Its a decent gym but completely overrun with children in every area, even though they have a specific area just for kids. The mens sauna did not get hot when I tried to use it, probably because its a giant tile room...

They have bouldering and top ropes and a kids room fun family atmosphere super clean and good staff!

Love this place friendly staff and great walls

Great climbing gym for beginners to learn and start becoming a better climber. Great staff and facilitites.

Great fun for the children and imaginatively laid out climbs. Could do with a nice coffee area,

Both me and my 3 year old son love this place! It was amazing to watch how quickly he fell in love with climbing, most likely due to the amazing facilities for kids and adults alike.

Super wonderful facility. Excellent staff and mega kid friendly.

So much freaking fun. Great for kids, too.

Hi dear friend,we are factory of produce the fitness equipment.Do you interesting the water rower?

Sooo happy to have this in Birmingham Inverness area! Brother is on the youth climbing team and the staff is great!

I love this place! Awesome place and great staff!!

Was excited to see a climbing gym of this caliber in the south, but that excitement quickly faded. After filling out the waiver and paying for the day passes for myself and my brother who was new to climbing, we had to sit and wait 15 minutes just to get an orientation from the understaffed front desk which had 3 staff members that were overly split between the register, handing out rental equipment, running the store, and doing orientations. We were sad to find out at the end of the tour that half of the bouldering area was closed that day for setting (a piece of information that wouldve been great to hear before paying), so we headed to the rope room to try out the autobelays before showing my brother how to throw on a quick figure 8 and take the top-rope certification. After getting my brother on one autobelay and having him jump test it, I let him loose and proceeded to the next autobelay down the wall to warm up on a 5.7. After clipping in and giving the autobelay a quick try myself, I began climbing. Cruising up, I reached about halfway up the wall and heard a click and a low humming noise. I looked up to my dismay to see the autobelay steadily cranking out slack as I hang halfway up the wall with nothing but my hands and wit holding me to the wall. Quickly realizing what was happening, I called out to the other climbers in the room to grab a staff member or at least to find someone who knows what to do as I began to downclimb and attempt to keep my cool. To my relief, another climber hopped on the autobelay next to me, climbed up to me, and quickly offered the the safety extension of that rig for me to clip into. We then both lowered off the neighboring autobelay. Now, Im sure this is partly a testament to autobelays in general, but the fact remains that if any of the many kids hopping on the other belays--or heck even my brother who had to trust the autobelay he was on as all this went down -- if any of them had been in my place, this couldve gone differently. For that I was thankful, what I wasnt thankful for was the all-but-absent staff who had no awareness of the incident and had hardly a word to say following the incident. Between faulty equipment, poor service that just made you feel like something was off about the place, and then half of the bouldering room being closed off, its safe to say that I feel ripped off and that I wont be coming back.

Excellent problems and a high top rope/lead routes. Not the biggest facility, but the best in the area.

This facility has something to offer everyone, from the birthday party, to novice climber, to the experienced athlete. If youre a climber or have ever considered climbing, youd be missing out by not stopping by.

Awesome and a fun date! Also, with friends

Awesome place. Love it great staff.
