Climb, play, and make new friends this summer at T

Climb, play, and make new friends this summer at The Crag!

Campers get hands-on with the gear, try new routes, and build confidence while having a blast.
Full day or half day, fun is guaranteed.

Everyone remembers their first time on the wall 🧗
From check in, to learning the ropes, to that first move up, this is where it all starts. New faces, new challenges, and maybe a new obsession.
There is nothing like watching someone try climbing for the first time. The nerves, the laughs, and that moment it clicks.
Welcome to the community. We are glad you are here.

Ever wondered what it’s like to create the climb

Most of y’all didn’t know this, but our very own, Kim Rank has been quietly training on the rocks in preparation for our next comp! 😜 LIKE this post if you’re excited to see Kim on the wall! What grades you think she’s sending?

Climbing is more than just a workout. It’s trust

Climbing is more than just a workout. It’s trust, teamwork, and figuring things out together, one hold at a time. Whether it’s cheering each other on, learning something new, or just laughing between climbs, it’s time well spent.

If you’ve been looking for something to do with your kids, this might be your sign to give it a try!

Jonathan and Aimee have been climbing with us sinc

Jonathan and Aimee have been climbing with us since the Nashville gym opened! They’re such an amazing part of this community and so much fun to watch on the wall. They were drawn to The Crag initially because they were looking for an activity they could do with their whole family.

“We really wanted to do something with the kids. It’s family friendly and when we got here the people were the best.” - Aimee

“And it’s a workout that I can do into my old age. Now that I’m past 50 I can’t run like I used to, but I can still climb. It’s a good whole body workout. When you fall you don’t break a hip. We love the people here and it’s close to our home. It’s just a good place to be.” - Jonathan

Climbing can be a great, low-impact sport that people can do for a lifetime. We see climbers on our walls of all ages everyday and it’s such a beautiful thing!

“It’s a great group of supportive people who will encourage you and help you along the way. They’ll help you get better and stronger which is what a community aught to be.” - Jonathan

Don’t be afraid to come alone, but you can always bring a friend and it’s excellent for everybody.” - Aimee

Meet Jacob, the man leading our 👋 Our Head Set

Meet Jacob, the man leading our 👋

Our Head Setter has been part of this community since 2012 and on the setting team since 2019, dreaming up routes that keep you coming back for more.

“I was a kid with a bunch of energy and I liked to climb trees outside and the nearest rock wall was just down the road at the Franklin gym so I started climbing there.”

My favorite thing about setting is putting situations on the wall where you’re going to get shocked by what folks will do. They’ll do something crazy that I never really anticipated and most of the times it’ll be really cool to see that happen.

The folks I’ve talked to don’t want to get coddled with easy grades, they want to get slapped in the face a little bit and they sort of expect that here. They know that these grades are going to be a bit harder and they like that.” - Jacob

Behind it all, Jacob just really loves this place and the people in it. “It feels like a big family.” And if you’ve ever been nervous to say ‘hi,’ don’t be.

“I actually love talking to people… I’ll talk about climbing all day.”
We’re lucky to have you, Jacob 🤍

What makes this place special isn’t just the cli

What makes this place special isn’t just the climbing, it’s the people.

Our community is built on showing up for each other, celebrating progress at every level, and creating a space where everyone belongs. From first-time climbers to longtime crushers, every person who walks through our doors helps shape the culture of this gym.

We believe in doing things the right way: supporting our members, investing in our team, and building something that reflects the values of this community.

Thank you to everyone who climbs, works, laughs, learns, and grows here. You’re the reason this place is what it is. 💛

Climbing can feel intimidating at first, but every

Climbing can feel intimidating at first, but everyone starts somewhere. And honestly, that’s the fun part.

Whether you’re stepping onto the wall for the very first time or ready to learn the ropes (literally), we’ve got classes to help you feel comfortable, confident, and maybe even a little obsessed. From Intro to Boulders and Intro to Ropes, to Belay Classes and Lead Climbing 101, there’s a path for everyone.
No pressure, no experience needed, just come try it out. We’ll take it from there 🧗

Ready to get off the ground? Our Adult Beginner Se

Ready to get off the ground? Our Adult Beginner Series is the perfect way to start your climbing journey.

Over six weeks, you’ll learn the ropes (literally) while building confidence on the wall. Each session introduces a new skill, from belaying and knots to movement and route reading, so by the end you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to climb safely and keep progressing.

Big moves, new friends, and a whole lot of climbin

Big moves, new friends, and a whole lot of climbing. 🧗‍♂️

Our Youth Leagues are all about getting young climbers on the wall, whether it’s their first climb or they’re already chasing the next challenge. Climbers build skills, confidence, and community while having a blast each week at The Crag.

Come climb with us.
Everyone belongs on the wall!
