Boone’s local climbing gym, Center 45 Climbing & Fitness, provides a chill vibe, good boulder problems, plenty of training options, and close-walk access (maybe 20 yards?) to Hatchet Coffee (for those absolutely necessary climbing coffee breaks!).

You’re in the High Country, dead of winter, and you’re itching for a climb. Or it’s too hot. Too rainy. Whatever. That’s the way of Boone weather, and that’s one of many reasons Center 45 is so important to this community.

It gives a vibrant community of boulderers a place to train when the weather’s crap or time is crunched. But even more important is the climbing culture it embodies and encourages–train hard here so you can get out there and climb hard in the woods.
A “Train Here to Climb Out There” Kind of Climbing Gym
Center 45 is exclusively a bouldering gym created by real-rock climbers that clearly emphasizes preparation for the real thing out amid the hardwoods.
The founders and employees of Center 45 have climbing histories rooted in the world-class bouldering of the Boone area.
