Indoor rock climbing gym Climb Nittany reopens

Located at 328 Discovery Drive, Boalsburg, Climb Nittany is an indoor rock climbing gym that came to State College in October of 2020. After it was permanently closed in May of this year because of financial strain from high occupancy costs, it was bought back and reopened. Climb Nittany reopened to the public on Oct 18, and climbers had the chance to climb. In addition, early this year, competitive climbers were able to use the gym before the people who come for fun were allowed in, so the climbers who couldn’t climb this year were able to get an early start.
