Climbing has been a part of Chattanooga since the 80’s, but Rob Robinson’s discovery of the Tennessee Wall put the city on the radar of climbers around the nation. In the past five years, the climbing scene in Chattanooga has experienced a surge in its popularity.
Outdoor hobby magazines such as Outside Magazine and Climbing Magazine recognized this boom in attention. In 2015, Climbing magazine coined Chattanooga, “America’s new climbing capitol.”
