"We will offer day rates and monthly memberships at affordable rates." Scott co-owns the gym with his son Jackson Scott, who will run the daily operations of the gym. He then said the business is locally-owned, with his son having attended the University of Alabama and now living in Tuscaloosa. He then said it would be exciting for them to return to offer a new outlet for climbers in the area. "The gym is a bouldering gym that will offer something for beginner and advanced climbers alike, offering a Bouldering wall and moon board, as well as offering shoe and chalk bag rentals if needed," he said. Prices range from $8.99 per day, while the monthly cost is $45.10. There will also be discounts for students and military. Click here to visit the gym's Facebook page.
