Climbing engages both the body and the mind. Several hours may pass before you realize you have gotten a full-body workout. Although all TBA guests will receive personal attention starting the minute they walk through our doors, we are also available for more personalized and structured instruction.
If you need help developing a personalized training routine (or focusing the attention of your hyperactive 8-year-old), consider TBA as a unique tool to help you achieve your goals. Please contact us with any questions, or if you would like to register for special instruction.

TBA holds its place in the Southeast climbing industry for the birth of indoor competitive bouldering and strong climbers. We select only the best, most experienced instructors to guide you through all aspects of bouldering and climbing. From those timid first attempts to the most complex climbing techniques, TBA has the experience and knowledge to improve your climbing skills.
Climbing instruction at TBA is an excellent choice for beginners as well as more advanced individuals. Known for our small class sizes and highly personalized attention, TBA is the perfect place to begin or expand your climbing expertise.

Private Lessons
While our standard classes are great, the most effective and powerful way to establish a climbing training program is by tailoring it to meet a student's individual needs. Private lessons refine and inspire existing climbing practices by helping students move beyond physical limitations, ultimately taking the sport to a significantly higher (and more rewarding) level. Private instruction is available by appointment for $35/hour. Please contact us if you are interested in learning more.
