About
Climb Moab Gym brings indoor climbing to Moab — a natural fit for a town where the real-rock climbing outside is world-class, but where an indoor option fills important gaps in the schedule. When temperatures hit triple digits in summer or a rare rainy afternoon rolls through, this facility gives families an active, engaging alternative that fits the Moab adventure ethos.
The gym features top-rope walls and bouldering problems suited to a range of skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced climbers looking to stay sharp. For children, it's often an ideal introduction to climbing in a controlled environment before tackling real rock — or a place to channel the climbing instinct after spending days surrounded by Utah's sandstone walls.
Kids take naturally to climbing gyms, and Climb Moab's setting — in a town where rock climbing is part of the cultural DNA — gives it an authenticity that feels different from a generic climbing chain in a suburban strip mall. The staff are typically climbers themselves, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about helping beginners.
Gear rental is available on site, so you don't need to bring anything special. The day pass price makes it one of the more affordable active options in Moab compared to the guided outdoor tours that dominate the adventure market here.
For families with kids 5 and older who've shown any interest in climbing, this is a low-risk, high-reward way to try it. For families with teens who are already into climbing, it's a useful training and warm-up facility. Either way, it earns its spot in a Moab itinerary.
