Aggie-owned and operated Stone Co. Climbing gymnasium celebrated five years of business in College Station in October.
What Stone Co. offers
Founded by Aggie graduate John Pritchard, the 18,000-square-foot facility houses rock climbing walls, yoga classes and a dedicated fitness space. The gym also has class options for children, along with community events and competitions.
According to Stone Co’s website, the rock climbing courses focus on bouldering, which is a type of free-climbing that doesn’t require ropes, a helmet, or other equipment used in roped climbing. Employees work with customers to figure out what equipment they might need and the pace at which they climb on the four walls.
The gist
According to Stone Co’s Facebook post, the gym celebrated five years in business with its annual Chalk & Awe tournament, which featured new and returning climbers. Stone Co. also thanked the community for supporting it throughout the years.
