What you need to know

Cultivate Climbing is Asheville's original indoor climbing gym, opened in 1993, and the only climbing gym inside city limits. Its Foundy Street gym is a 13,000-square-foot bouldering gym in a converted indoor skatepark in the River Arts District, with terrain inspired by Western North Carolina boulders. The Bunker at 45 South French Broad Avenue is a 7,000-square-foot training and wellness space with lifting racks, yoga classes, a sauna and a cold plunge. The River, its rope gym on Amboy Road, is being rebuilt after Hurricane Helene.

Local's Tip

Sign the waiver online before your first visit to save time. Foundy Street is open weekdays until 10 p.m., and weekends from 10 a.m.

What the locals say

Asheville climbers treat it as a community hub, and regulars say there are new routes to try nearly every week.
