Rock Dimensions ROCKS! We took our Boy Scout Troop on a climbing trek with the company, and they made it easy for us to plan and execute a great day of climbing.

They accommodated all levels of climber, offering some more challenging climbs for the more experienced among us, and some easier (but still impressive looking) climbs for the newer guys.

Their communication up to and during the event was fantastic, and I really appreciated their flexibility with timing and numbers even until very late in the process.

I fully recommend using Rock Dimensions - we will definitely be working with this company again in the future.

Son and I participated in an event held by Rock Dimensions .
I am 51 and have 0 experience other than just being a human that has climbed trees and boulders as a kid . My 21 yr old son had 0 experience. We wanted to do something new.
Adrian shared with us during the day he was a school counselor. He has the patience that illustrated to me he certainly would be a good counselor. Ryan or Rian (sp?) Was introduced to climbing via the BSA many years ago , i got the sense he was still living the "Scout Law" (trustworthy,Loyal,helpful,
Friendly ,Courteous, kind,obedient,cheerful,thrifty,brave and reverent *Believe me people that is hard to find today. These two got my son and I having a great time climbing safely with no exlerience in an hour . We had an awesome time, and if time allows im hoping to participate again in an activity with these two.
If i understand correctly these two have approximately 60 yrs of climbing experience combined. Their passion for climbing radiates . The event I participated in was an class but it was also a fund raiser of sorts. Certain group possibly the Carolina Climbing Coalition are trying to raise funds to purchase land that would allow more opportunity for people to climb, the point I want to make is that the fee o paid went to a good cause , the guys were volunteering their time to help a block head like myself! I doubt if you will find many (if anybody) that volunteer their Sundays for a cause they believe in much anymore. Our family had some bad luck recently and we came to a cross roads , this day of climbing was exactly what my son and I needed to become energized and get through the struggles we may encounter going forward. If God wills it we will try to return for more guidance.
Adrian - you never told us the answer to your riddle? ....what sits in the corner all day and travels around the World?

We took our scout troop, 20 scouts and 5 adults, on a caving experience with these folks. Their professionalism and organization were excellent. We will definitely use Rock Dimensions on future scouting trips.

My wife and I booked a half day of climbing. Our guide was not only organized and polite, but was also very patient and knowledgeable. The approach was only a short walk up a hill. We climbed a number of routes and had a great time. We would definitely recommend the guide service at rock dimensions. This was our first climb outside of the gym and we are hooked. Thanks again.

We had a great tower to rock climbing experience with Chad Mullins! He is great with kids, energetic and knowledgeable. Also being EMT certified and Leave No Trace certified, we discussed outdoor ethics and some first aid during our experience. It was great meeting Ryan & Jennifer as well. An affordable, top notch operation for climbers of all ages and abilities!

The climbing wall is a great spot to get a "fix". But, I recommend having one of their climbers take you on a private climb to the real rock. The climbers at Rock Dimensions are so nice and make you feel very comfortable. Definitely a quality program.

My son had the time of his life at this rock climbing camp. He starting talking about next year halfway through the week.
I had the great fortune of tagging along one day to take pictures. The guides ; Nicole, Dave, and Max were phenomenal. It takes a lot to do this job well I think. Not only are they excellent rock climbers who can teach the children quality skills, but they're also very good with managing these children and inspiring them to listen (a skill not to be taken lightly). They kept the children safe and orderly while continuously checking to be sure they were hydrated , fed and accounted for. As the kids quarreled over typical conflicts of "who's next", who had the longer turn, who gets to go first, etc. all of the guides patiently managed the rotation of climbing while helping the kids learn to work out their conflict on their own to a large extent.
We will be coming back again and again for camp and are already discussing a family climbing trip w Rock Dimensions.

Caving with Guide Ian Miller. What a great guy and so knowledgeable of the cave. Clearly many years of experiance. He had us crawling through holes smaller than I'd ever thought we'd of fit. So much fun for all of us (50 to 14). Even got to rescue some "non-guided" people that got in too far. You'll get wet, muddy and come out with smile for sure with Ian.

My son had an absolutely fabulous week at rock climbing camp! He had climbed the tower on numerous occasions, and always enjoyed that. But camp took things to a new level. We'll definitely be back in the future.

A friend and I went on a half day trip to Holloway Mountain with Rock Dimensions guide Chad... it was a blast! We felt confident and comfortable with his guidance, climbed a bunch of different routes (5.7-5.9+), and just had a great time overall. Would definitely recommend to anyone whether you've never climbed or have been climbing for three years like us.

Worth the visit if you re wanting to get a work out in and climb the rock wall. Staff was supportive and patient with us while some of us had fears of heights. I would definitely visit again, when I m in the area.

My family and I visit the Boone are several times each year. We always make a stop at the rock deminsions store. Our kids are regular wall climbers and we have also went on guided rock climbing/rappelling trips as well as the discovery course. The guys never disappoint and are very professional. As a past climber/rapeller I never felt my children's safety was ever taken for granted. The equipment seemed to well cared for by each guide we have had. Would definitely recommend Rock Deminsions if your looking to get out doors in the high country!

I can't say enough good things about these guys/gals. The in office staff offered quite a bit of info on the local climbing scene as well as some new crags that are surfacing, some of which I wasn't aware of previously. Jacob served as my guide and we knocked out a solid amount of Table Rock and had a blast while doing it. I'm somewhat experienced, but if I wasn't I would've been treated the same. Again, I can't say enough good things about how easy going, kind and safe everything felt. Their level of expertise and professionalism is unmatched in the Boone area. I will be back. Thanks again.

I was given Rock Dimensions(RD)name from another adventure company in Virginia who said these were the guys in the Boone area of NC. Called RD and booked it after discussion area and options. We booked full day, $90 pat Table Rock mountain. 1/2 deposit made at booking. Instructions, including map to get the parking area, were sent via email. Text messages were also used as convenient communication. On day of hike our guide, Drew, guide was on time and ready. Friendly and easy to work with, he never rushed. He was there to assist, help and educate. He didn t need to get involved with the goofy side activities of our group. He stayed focused on his job- safety and fun. Our group was 2 adults of moderate athletic ability. 3 teens who has little to no climbing experience. Safety was stressed. Morning was climbing- he made 3 ropes. Afternoon was rappelling. Everyone had an amazing time. I will use this group again as I was very impressed. You should feel confident in their guide s ability and work ethic.

Hired Rock Dimensions to introduce our group to outside climbing. They were wonderfully flexible, allowing us to reschedule multiple times due to bad weather. When a date finally worked out, we were met on time by our guide. Daniel did a great job of walking us through the equipment and safety checks and making us all feel comfortable and safe. Had a great time and would highly recommend Rock Dimensions for guiding needs in NC.

I first met the owners of Rock Dimensions, Ryan and Jenny, through PE climbing classes that I took at Appalachian State. I got into climbing more in these classes and had some fun, but the next year I took a PCIA guiding course with Ryan, where I learned so much more about climbing than I had imagined. I had a great time in the course, but above all else the focus on climbing safely and ethically has had the biggest impact on me and the decisions I make in my own climbing. I know because of this that Rock Dimensions runs their business because they love climbing and teaching and want to share the fun and knowledge with those around them. I highly recommend stopping in at the shop in Boone if you want to have a good time!

I remember the day this happened. We were doing a training on a small boulder underneath Jim Dandy and Hidden Crack. The boulder was maybe 20 ft. tall. We were not on an established climb. All climbers were above us on Table Rock. We decided to dislodge a loose rock so it would not fall on us while we were training. We could clearly see no one was underneath the 20 ft tall boulder. I do remember talking with someone that day and apologizing for startling them.

We had the time of our lives on our half-day rock climbing adventure. Our guide Greydon met everyone with patience, education, and confidence as some of us took the ropes for the very first time. We cannot recommend enough the safety and expertise of the entire staff at Rock Dimensions. We loved the shop and rock wall as well and cannot wait to come back!

Booked a trip for 4 on Saturday with Rock Dimensions. This was a great experience and the guide, chit-chat Chad, was amazing! This trip was everything we wanted it to be and we all felt like we learned so much from our first outdoor experience. A big thank you for taking the time to teach us about anchoring and answering every question we had. Would definitely recommend this guide service to anyone looking to climb in the high country!

Our now-thirteen-year-old daughter had her first ascent on the Rock Dimensions climbing wall in 2006, when she was three. She first attended their climbing camp in the summer of 2012 at age nine (she ll attend this summer for her fifth time) and she has had birthday celebrations at their Discovery Course. Ryan and Jenny have provided an engaging experience throughout, with a focus on safety and healthy challenge. We re grateful for the wonderful experiences our daughter has had under their guidance and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

They provide a top-notch experience in rock-climbing. We brought a group of teens there on 2 separate occasions. Some of the kids were scared during the climb, but the staff was very patient, caring and understanding, while still gently encouraging the kids to overcome that fear and succeed. I highly recommend them.

Two Great Days -- Climbing and Caving

Two Great Days -- Climbing and Caving

This was a father and son trip that did not disappoint! We did the 1 day 'tower to rock' program, and a day of caving with them.

Upfront I want to say thank you to Max, our wonderful guide. He showed great patience and was a great role model for my 14 year old son. Unbeknownst to him, two individuals came up to me during our rock climbing outing and said we were lucky to have him as a guide -- I agree, and can confirm he is an amazing young man, and professional in his field. I loved his passion for the environment, and the way he spoke of his past mentors. Refreshing and uplifting. Bottom line. Max was amazingly safe and knowledgeable on the rock face, and in the cave. We will book a follow-on trip because of our great experience with Max, and the company he represents.

Business wise -- great scheduling, great follow-up contact and confirmation, great equipment, and very easy to work with. Punctual, ready to start immediately, yet flexible enough to meet our own personal needs. The shop was perfectly located and easy to find.

My son and I had never climbed or caved before, so we were a bit apprehensive. After the first 30 mins with Rock Dimensions our worries were gone, and we are confident that we will be back again soon.

Thank you!
Ryan

My family love Rock Dimensions. We have been visiting Boone every year for the past 12 years and the summer is not complete without a visit to "climb the tower". My daughter has progressed through various levels from the age of 3 to 13. We love the friendly staff who always remember and welcome us back. The Discovery Course is an exciting way to spend an afternoon as long as you don't have a fear of heights. We bring all our friends and their children and it is always a highlight of their High Country experience.

I have climbed with RD on several occasions over the past 3 years. The first trip was my first time ever climbing, and Daniel was an awesome, patient, and inspiring instructor.
Later trips grew more demanding, as I and my family improved our skills (our kids improving a lot faster for some reason), and each guide (Cameron, Jacob, and others) was very attentive to our abilities, encouraging yet challenging us to reach our goals.
The scenery is spectacular, the climbing exhilarating, and the guides fun and knowledgeable. Safety is always a priority, and nothing is left to chance, other than the weather.
Rock Demensions is an excellent climbing company; I would highly recommend them for anyone interested in a great adventure.

As a scout leader, you can only hope to find an organization that can and will stand up to their advertised programs. This is what Rock Dimensions has done. With a wonderful climbing wall for beginning skills (on location) and local rock faces to finish a day's adventure, I can't recommend Ryan and his team any more. Thank you guys for your interest and skill for a job well done. We will return for future adventure!

Ryan and Jenny at Rock Dimensions are enthusiastic about rock climbing and it shows in everything they do, whether guiding folks on outdoor climbing trips or showing someone the ropes on the climbing tower at Footsloggers. They are also very involved in the local climbing community and help out in a lot of ways to keep the area's great climbing spots in optimal condition. I highly recommend Rock Dimensions when looking to get out and explore the High Country's phenomenal climbing.
