Rock Sport, a long-standing indoor climbing gym in Louisville,
has announced it will be closing its current location after more than 30 years
of operation.
The gym has been a staple of Louisville’s climbing and outdoor recreation
community, offering top-rope climbing, bouldering, and training space for
climbers of all skill levels. Over the decades, Rock Sport has introduced
countless residents to indoor climbing and served as a hub for local climbers.
According to information shared by the business, the closure is related to
facility and location challenges rather than a lack of interest in the sport.
Rock Sport has indicated that it is actively exploring options for a possible
new location, keeping open the possibility of returning in the future.
Louisville’s proximity to outdoor climbing destinations such as the Red River
Gorge has long made the city an important part of Kentucky’s climbing culture,
and the potential return of Rock Sport would be welcomed by many in the local
community.
Updates regarding relocation plans or future announcements are expected to be
shared directly by the business as details become avai
