"I’m so stoked to soon have a bouldering gym in my neighborhood that supports the wants and needs of our growing community. Instead of thinking about climbing gyms I’ve visited on past trips as providing some of my favorite gym sessions, I’m excited to soon have a home gym that is wanting to provide that level of high quality experience. I’ve been mostly looking forward to having access to a spray wall, training boards, and a new atmosphere. Whether I’m wanting to do structured strength training or have a chill board session before work, I’m looking forward to spending a lot of time at Climbing Roots!

"As a former climbing gym owner in the UK, I am excited to endorse the establishment of a state-of-the-art climbing wall facility at Baker Creek in Knoxville, TN. Lindsay, the owner, is passionate about climbing and committed to creating a welcoming community. Climbing Roots will not only enhance our local climbing scene but also become a hub for adventure enthusiasts in the region, encouraging physical activity and camaraderie among climbers. I wholeheartedly believe that Climbing Roots will be a fantastic addition to Knoxville’s outdoor culture and provide an engaging environment for climbers of all backgrounds. "

"My family and I are so excited about Roots bouldering coming to Baker Creek!  We have always thought a climbing gym is a needed addition to S Knox and Baker Creek is a perfect location!  The vision Lindsay has and her dedication to this project has been amazing!  My son, daughter and I look forward to training here together, getting stronger and building our south Knox climbing community!"
