Alchemy Climbing (formally Tallahassee Rock Gym) has a long and rich history. Part of the first wave of climbing gyms in the country, and the first dedicated climbing gym in Florida, we have been around since the beginning of indoor climbing.  Doors opened to the public in July 1995, serving climbers and those wanting to learn how to climb in the region for over 25 years now. Tallahassee Rock Gym was considered a first generation climbing gym, built with the blood, sweat, risk, and personal equity of its owner, managers, staff, volunteers and friends. Donated, and sometimes questionably acquired wood, composed the original walls. Holds from backyard woodies and shredded rubber flooring composed the original gym portions.
