CLIMBING QUESTIONS

  • Memphis Rox welcomes climbers of all experience levels! If you’re just starting out, you’ll find two main areas to explore:

    • Bouldering: Climb shorter walls without ropes, protected by padded flooring. No prior experience is needed—just come ready to try.

    • Rope Climbing: Climb taller walls using ropes and harnesses. First-time climbers are encouraged to take one of our introductory classes to learn the basics of belaying and climbing safety.

    Our staff is always available to answer questions and help you get starte

  • No reservations are required—climbing is first come, first served. A belay partner is required for our high rope walls, but our bouldering section is always available to climb on your own.

  • Memphis Rox is a pay-what-you-can facility. Our day passes are offered at a suggested price, but you’re welcome to pay what you’re able. Memberships are set at a fixed rate; however, if cost is a barrier, you can apply for our Volunteer Membership option.

    View our current rates here.

  • A day pass includes full-day access to all of our facilities: the bouldering section, rope climbing walls, and workout equipment. Top Rope Belay Classes are also included with your pass.

  • All ages are welcome at Memphis Rox! Children 13 and under must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. For safety, they may not use the weight or cardio equipment.

  • Wear something comfortable and easy to move in. To keep our environment positive and welcoming, we ask climbers to wear modest, non-offensive clothing. Climbing shoes are recommended (available to rent for $1 at the front desk). If you don’t have climbing shoes, closed-toed shoes are required for safety. Socks can be purchased for $3.

  • No. For safety reasons, we do not have auto belays. To climb in the rope section, you will need a belay partner who has completed our belay certification class.

  • You can sign up in person at our front desk or join online here. Membership gives you unlimited access to our climbing walls, climbing and yoga classes, fitness facilities, and community programming.

OTHER QUESTIONS

  • Gift cards can be purchased at the front desk at Memphis Rox or online here.

  • There are several ways to contribute to the mission including sponsorships, donations and volunteering. Learn more here.

  • Memphis Rox was founded on the belief that climbing and fitness should be accessible to everyone, no matter their background or ability to pay. We operate on a “pay what you can” model, ensuring cost is never a barrier. Beyond the gym, we invest directly back into the community through programs like youth mentorship, job training, free after-school activities, and neighborhood service projects. Our on-site café sources ingredients from our community garden and offers a “pay it forward” meal system so no one goes hungry. Every visit helps us continue creating opportunities, breaking down barriers, and building a stronger, more connected Memphis.

  • Diversity, inclusion, and the empowerment of communities of color are at the forefront of everything we do. We strive to break down barriers in an industry where representation is often lacking, so that youth and climbers of color can see themselves reflected in this space.

    All of our work is guided by the community we serve. Memphis Rox is committed to creating a safe, welcoming environment where discrimination of any kind—whether based on race, religion, gender, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, or identity—is never tolerated. At Memphis Rox, everyone is welcomed, and no one is ever turned away.
