Triangle Rock Club - Raleigh

My family and fellow church people enjoyed this place very much. Our young people and young pros had great fun night even though most of them came here and did rock climbing for the first time. The safety measures are superb. My kids were even given a belay certificate. This is a great place to have fun as a family. There are also professional and advanced climbers that you’ll enjoy watching from time to time. Really a cool place. As for me, this is a 5-star place.

We absolutely love this climbing gym. The staff is always friendly, helpful and willing to answer questions. They take safety very seriously and don’t tolerate stupidity in the gym. They do an awesome job with kids birthday celebrations and provide space for the kids when they are done climbing. For the adult climbers, they keep the routes new and challenging and provide an engaging experience for new and veteran climbers alike. They also stock a decent amount of climbing gear including shoes, ropes, chalk and the like. The staff will make sure you get the gear that meets your needs and fits your budget. Don’t wait any longer - plan a visit as soon as you can!

So easy to book and what a fun time! The staff is VERY friendly and helpful. We went with 3 people mid Saturday and climbed for the entire hour and a half we booked for. They also have a gym at this locations as well as a gift shop! If you’re looking for something fun and physically taxing to do on a weekend this is a fantastic option. It only ran about $15 a person and no need to be certified just to climb!

My husband and I purchased a punch card here on Friday in anticipation of using it when we regularly visit his mother throughout the year. We have both been climbing on and off for the past 8 years with our most recent year after returning from parenting and a hectic lifestyle, at Inner Peaks in Charlotte and are at levels between V4 and V6 (I am a 4, he is a 5-6). We have been climbing throughout the country at different climbing gyms the past season for travels and discussed our findings at Triangle Rock club with other visiting Climbers on Friday. The unfortunate conclusion was that this gym does not have national standards for their climbing sets. It was frustrating and discouraging to find that though we do climb at intermediate levels throughout the country, their levels here in Raleigh at this gym are their own language and standard. The V2 or V3 sets are the equivalent of a V5 or higher. They all lack in sufficient footholds as well, even the basic and "easy" levels where you would hope to not discourage someone entirely new to climbing. We spoke to a regular climbing who is buddy with the setter crew and he told us that the setters all do advanced climbing; evidently past remembrance of how a beginner climbs and the requirements needed for those who are unfamiliar with how to begin either bouldering or rope climbing. Inner Peaks regularly has the owner visiting and checking up to ensure there is consistency of route levels to appropriately reflect the level nationally. I would truly hope TRC would have the same. It is extremely discouraging to see that there are setters who don't take into consideration the various levels of climbers and do not set the routes to national standards. Unless you are a part of their pack, your understanding and ability to work with their routes is botched from the start. Super disappointing. We still intend to come back and use the punch card, but depending on how things are when we visit, we may not make too much use of the rocks and will focus on their extremely impressive and well-stocked fitness gym instead. It's a bummer, because when we visit family and go on vacation we try to maintain our climbing status and not being able to do much at a gym makes it rather pointless in trying. Looking forward to seeing your routes better reflect national standards. According to previews reviews over at least the past six months, they will read the reviews of the same concern I'm expressing and little to nothing has done. Perhaps this time something will be done? I don't need a response telling me my opinion is valuable. I need to see change.

Was visiting from out of town and went here for a couple of hours. TRC Raleigh is a solid climbing gym that offers both bouldering and top roping. This location’s grading system feels pretty difficult (usually climbing ~V4-5). Lower-grade warmups are quite challenging so if you’re coming for the first time, I’d bring a more experienced friend for guidance and motivation. Otherwise, not sure how beginner friendly this spot is. Heads up: They don’t offer chalk so you have to bring your own or buy it.
