Triangle Rock Club - Durham

Triangle Rock Gym in Durham is a climber’s paradise! This modern facility is equipped with everything you could possibly need in a climbing gym. From expansive bouldering areas to top-notch rope climbing walls, they’ve created a space that caters to climbers of all skill levels. The gym is clean, well-maintained, and designed with a welcoming atmosphere that encourages community.

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to assist or offer tips, and the training areas are perfect for building strength and improving technique. Whether you’re a seasoned climber or a beginner, Triangle Rock Gym has it all, including rental gear, diverse climbing routes, and even yoga and fitness classes to complement your climbing routine.

That said, I wish they’d expand to Wilmington, NC! The coastal city could benefit greatly from a gym like this, providing a hub for climbers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. A modern climbing gym in Wilmington would be the perfect addition to the area’s active lifestyle scene.

If you’re in the Triangle area, this gym is a must-visit. Here’s hoping we see a Triangle Rock Gym in Wilmington soon!

This is a great way to get a full body workout and have fun while doing it! Memberships are expensive, but they offer day passes and 10 punch passes that are great options for anyone who isn't expecting to go frequently. They have climbing routes for all different levels of skill, and you can rent all the necessary equipment there. It is important to note that if you are interested in the actual rock climbing (rather than bouldering), you should plan to go in a group of at least two people, since you'll need someone to belay while you climb.

Been here several times with the kids and for various birthday parties. Great place and friendly staff. It’s always full of climbers!

Mid tier climbing gym, barely one functioning sauna between 5 gyms, setting is very hit or miss with a high turnover on the setting team due to lack of a livable wage and health insurance.

They love to taut this line that their politics don't affect their business, however they have made their political stance clear through their recent decision to remove all menstrual products from all bathrooms in retaliation for a recent email campaign pushing for their return to mens restrooms to accommodate trans and non binary persons, during pride month. They refuse to display pride flags but are happy to take our money to expand their monopoly.
Andrew and Mike you should be ashamed of yourselves. To anyone reading this, don't sign up for a membership, don't have your kids birthday here, don't even come in for a yoga class. They do not deserve your hard earned dollars.

I’ve been climbing at the Durham TRC on and off for a few years now, mostly on day passes, and attended a pilates class (it kicked my a**, in a good way). It’s a lovely community and the facilities are pretty great. However, ownership has made recent politicized decisions that negatively impact the whole community. The owners’ decision to remove menstrual products to avoid providing this resource to climbers of all gender identities in response to members and staff giving feedback that such a service would be valuable is a disappointing and cowardly move. I hope someone else opens a comparable facility that is more welcoming to all in the community and more receptive to staff and member feedback, rather than imposing the owners’ personal views on an entire community. Not sure if I’ll feel comfortable going back in light of this.
