Our Gym
Established in 1998, Kendall Cliffs Climbing Gym was the first professionally designed and built rock gym in Ohio. We are a family owned and operated business. Our Nicros designed climbing gym has a combination of textured plywood and “natural” rock surfaces. In 2019, our walls were resurfaced by the ReFresh team from Eldorado Climbing. This new color pallet gives our gym a fun and relaxing atmosphere to climb in.
Here at Kendall Cliffs Climbing Gym, we have 7,000 square feet of climbing surface with a peak height of 35 feet. The most unique feature of the facility is a 35-foot-high arch traversing the span of the building. We offer top rope and lead climbing to keep even the most advanced climbers challenged. Our route setters keep the walls fresh and fun, while still giving a range of difficulty for both novice and experienced climbers. The climbing gym also includes a large rock bouldering cave. It is perfect for training and mastering more technical moves!
At Kendall Cliffs Climbing Gym, you have the option of belaying with a partner or using one of our TruBlue auto belays. If you are looking to learn how to rock climb, we offer belay and lead climbing courses which are led by our highly trained staff members. Our climbing gym offers daily and membership pricing depending on what you are interested in. Looking for a group activity for a family gathering or a special event, give us a call and we can get it scheduled today! Some of our special events include birthday parties, youth groups, scout events, corporate events, and lock-ins.
Kendall Cliffs Climbing Gym is located right next to the Ledges and Kendall Lake hiking trails, which is part of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We are also next door to Appalachian Outfitters. They carry a variety of climbing equipment, including shoes, harnesses, chalk, rope, etc.
