BORN IN THE MOUNTAINS AND HOLLERS OF APPALACHIA, WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN THE AREAS WE’RE SO FORTUNATE TO CALL HOME.

APPALACHIAN BOULDERING CENTER WAS CREATED TO ESTABLISH A HUB FOR CLIMBERS, THAT WAS CREATED BY CLIMBERS.

SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND NORTHEAST TENNESSEE NEEDED BOTH A FOCUSED TRAINING FACILITY AND COMMUNITY HUB SERVING THE RICH CLIMBING RESOURCES IN OUR BACKYARDS.

ABC IS THE VISION OF LOCAL CLIMBERS WHO ARE NOT ONLY PASSIONATE ABOUT CLIMBING, BUT ALSO THE DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL BOULDER FIELDS AND CRAGS IN THE REGION. BEFORE WE STARTED PLANNING ABC, WE SPENT YEARS DEVELOPING BOULDERFIELDS AND BOLTING ROUTES ACROSS THE REGION. WE’RE JUST AS EXCITED TO HAVE DEVELOPED THE PREMIERE BOULDERING GYM HERE IN THE HEART OF CENTRAL APPALACHIA.

APPALACHIAN BOULDERING CENTER IS PROUD TO BE A GRASSROOTS SMALL BUSINESS, TO BE CLIMBER OWNED AND OPERATED, AND TO BE BRISTOL’S VERY OWN BOULDERING GYM.

COME ON OVER AND CLIMB WITH US!
