Climbing gym approved for construction in St. George near Pine View High

A new gym slated to be built in St. George promises to combine the art of yoga with the athletics of rock climbing. The gym is called Contact Climbing and will be built on the vacant lot at 2865 E. 850 N. Street, near the roundabout just west of Costco and Sportsman’s Warehouse. The lot is also just a couple blocks north of Pine View High School.


To accommodate the verticality of its climbing walls, the building will be nearly 60 feet tall. A conditional use permit for the building’s height was approved during a recent St. George City Council meeting. The 18,500-square-foot indoor, climate-controlled gym will include a suite of rock-climbing walls and will also offer yoga and fitness classes and a full set of cardio and fitness equipment. The building will also accommodate parties, corporate events, competitions and after-school programs. St George News
