Cultivate Climbing - Foundy
đ River Arts District, NC
Indoor bouldering gym at 37 Foundy St in downtown Asheville with a tall main wall, youth climbing teams, spring and summer camps for kids of all levels, and community access programs. Part of the two-location Cultivate Climbing network.
Awesome Bouldering gym. Came for a competition. Tight quarters but it was a comp. Great staff!
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for kids ages 6 and up who are ready for structured climbing instruction through youth teams or camps. Drop-in family bouldering works for older children and teens comfortable on walls without top-rope.

âI joined this gym but after a few weeks I started having a chronic cough and lung wheezing. And my throat was getting sore regularly. There is no air filtration and ventilation system in this gym and the air is filled with visible chalk dust. Long term exposure to chalk dust can cause irreversible lung damage and COPD. Two of my friends had similar health issues after joining this gym. It took at least three phone calls to get an initial response from the owner. But they have ignored my concerns and questions regarding the lack of a ventilation and air filtration. For a gym that is charging top dollar I'm extremely disappointed. Instead of putting money into making the gym a healthy environment with clean air they are now building a 3rd gym. Please make this a safe place for people to climb! Lung damage is no joke.â
