Prattville, AL — Maverick Climbing is working with The Hanger, a new full-service climbing gym in Prattville, Alabama, to bring 12,000+ square feet of climbing walls to life. Owned by Jered Jones, Steve Walter, and CJ Walter, The Hanger will create a new destination for climbing, connection, and adventure in the community.
The collaboration pairs the owners’ vision with Maverick’s experience in designing and building climbing environments that serve everyone from first-time climbers to experienced athletes. Together, the teams are creating a gym that balances engaging climbing terrain with spaces that support instruction, progression, and community.
“This is an amazing opportunity to help bring a new climbing gym to life in Prattville,” said Jerad Wells, owner of Maverick Climbing. “Jered, Steve, and CJ have a vision and a real commitment to their community. Sharing our experience and helping turn that vision into a place where people can discover climbing, challenge themselves, and build friendships is exactly why I started Maverick.”
Maverick’s owner-to-owner approach emphasizes direct communication, thoughtful design, and close collaboration throughout the project. For The Hanger’s ownership team, that partnership has helped translate ambitious ideas into practical solutions.
“Working with Maverick has felt like having a true partner invested in our success,” said Jered Jones, co-owner of The Hanger. “Jerad and his team listen, bring ideas to the table, and consistently go the extra mile to help us get the details right. They care about what we’re building and what it will mean for Prattville, and that has made a tremendous difference throughout this process.”
The Hanger represents an opportunity to expand access to climbing in Prattville while creating a welcoming gathering place for individuals, families, and the broader climbing community.
