This new climbing gym is really going to rock your world.

Let us tell you about Mesa Rim Climbing Center, Austin’s newest rock climbing gym at 1205 Sheldon Cove. With 50,000 sqft of space, 55-ft tall climbing walls, and bouldering terrain, Mesa Rim is one of the largest privately-owned climbing gyms in the country, and the first Mesa Rim location outside California and Nevada.

If you’re ready to harness your inner climber, the gym is celebrating its grand opening with a day of free climbing, food and drink, and vendors for all to enjoy on Saturday, April 1.

But Mesa Rim isn’t just about hitting the peaks — the gym is also outfitted with a yoga studio, yoga and fitness classes, a gym, a sauna, and sprawling locker rooms.

Membership for the gym starts at $87 per month, or grab a day pass for $25. Climb on.

An outdoor sign for Shady Grove, a well-known spot in Austin, Texas. The sign has a rustic, retro vibe with the words 'Shady Grove' prominently displayed in neon letters. The text is styled with a rope design that adds a touch of western flair. Above the name, a smaller sign reads 'HAMBURGERS' in bold, glowing letters. Below, an arrow points to the right with the phrase 'STOP-A-WHILE' in faded neon. The sign is mounted on a weathered metal frame, with lush green trees in the background.
