Inner Peaks Crown Point – Charlotte, NC

About three months late on this one haha

Early on in my lengthy stint to Charlotte I decided to visit the other Inner Peaks location. The location definitely had a Climb Time vibe. Tucked back behind a warehouse, sort of in its own little world.

The facility was older and had the plaster / Nicros style walls. The setting was as solid as the main Inner Peaks location. I found out later that the setters rotate between the two locations which is great! Keeps it consistent.

The wall angles were pretty varied which I find makes it hard to set interesting problems every time. The same wall variations lends itself to the same movement type over and over. They have a larger freestanding Boulder behind this cave that has a somewhat more consistent angle, but it still curves around.

Bulk of the bouldering

Good selection of grades. Not quite the density or quantity I’d like to see, but with it being monochromatic there isn’t a whole to be done there!

Well stocked training area!

Decent training space too. They have a moonboard, a campus board, and a few hang boards.

There was a full work out area with treadmill, elliptical, bench, free weights, and a few other things.

Workout ‘loft’

All in all I would go back every few weeks in between the main location, but I don’t believe it has sustainable quantity for someone in the v7-v8 range.
