Hello, congrats on your new gym.
I was just looking at your website, cool!
Can you tell me, or can anyone who actually knows
tell me, how high are your climbing walls going to be?
Max height?
Mesa Rim in Reno is 52 feet. High Altitude in
Incline Village is 32 feet.
Thanks.

I don't know anything about climbing gyms.
But, I do know that there is a hotel room, at the Madonna Inn, in San Luis Obispo, that is carved into the living rock. It's called The Caveman Room.
Rope up, slot your cams, and go for the 5.13 roof pitch. But, don't pull any loose rock down and onto the carpet.
Your credit card will be on file.
What about gyms on real rock? Would they be too expensive to build?
Somewhere, in the excavated caverns below the great granite substrate that is Manhattan Island, there must be a place where such a thing could be deliciously established. #Don'tTouchTheThirdRail

The Cave room at Grand Canyon Caverns is the real deal
https://gccaverns.com/rooms-packages/the-grand-canyon-caverns-cavern-motel-room/
975 bucks a night
The largest, oldest, deepest, darkest, quietest motel room in the world:
Largest. 200 feet by 400 feet with 70 foot ceiling
Oldest: Caverns and walls over 65 million years
Deepest: 220 feet below the surfaces, access via elevator
Darkest: absent of any light
Quietest: the only sound is your heart beating and your breath. You are the only living thing in the caverns… The only living thing
Driest: zero humidity, nothing lives in the caverns, not a fly, not bat, nothing!

Caveman Room has finger-tips.
That other room appears to have some pretty good pockets.
A dank situation, in such a place, can be a wonderful situation.
