The most unique indoor climbing experience I have had in my life! I cannot recommend this place highly enough - indoor grain bins converted into climbing walls? Yes!
Auto-belay, top rope, and lead climbing on 65 foot walls, tons of fun bouldering problems, and the most gnarly overhang you could ask for - what’s not to love?
On top of it all the staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. This spot has been open for over 30 years, so you know they’re doing something (everything) right.
Upper Limits has been so fantastic in accomodating college students! The general manager at Maryland Heights (Holly) is so extremely helpful in making climbing accessible for our student climbing club. She keeps costs low for college students (which is fantastic, because most of us couldn't afford to climb otherwise!), promotes fun community events for us, and works with us to help our new climbers get started. The collegiate competitions are also very affordable and have great opportunities to win free gear, which most of us could not otherwise afford. I speak for myself and my club in saying that without upper limits' help and support, there is no way we could ever be so involved in the climbing community and the sport overall. Thank you Upper Limits!!!
Upper Limits deserves every bit of 5 stars. I’m incredibly grateful for the experience I’ve had here. The climbing is top tier, with routes that challenge you and help you improve fast. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and full of people who genuinely love the sport.
What really stands out is the collegiate competitions. They are organized, competitive, and honestly some of the most fun events I’ve been a part of. They push you to be better while still keeping that positive and encouraging atmosphere.
