The plan to give a former downtown theater new life as a climbing gym and retail space is hitting a few snags. Organizers have pushed back the opening of The Block from this summer to early October. And the project's cost now exceeds $5 million dollars, one million more than the original estimate. When finished, The Block will host a Rock/Creek Outfitters store, the Chattanooga Visitors Center and High Point Climbing and Fitness. Plans include 25,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor climbing space, which will make it one of the largest climbing gyms in the country.
