When you get here

Most first-timers will choose the day-pass option. We have all the necessary gear available to rent. Our professional staff show you how to put the gear on properly, give you a tour of the facility, and an orientation to our 9 auto-belays: devices that allow you to access our top-rope terrain. We'll also walk you through the bouldering area, a zone of ropeless climbing.

If you know how to belay, we'll give you a short test to demonstrate your competency. Then, feel free to climb any of our 40+ top-rope stations!

"Friendly staff, amazing intro class! I walked away from my class feeling not only confident in my own safety while climbing but comfortable and confident about ensuring others are safe as well. Highly recommend it to anyone, and this is coming from a guy with a nasty fear of heights!belaying. This camp is packed full of fun, learning and adventure! A definite must on the camp list."

FAQ's

Do I need to schedule a visit or can I just show up?

What kind of gear do I need for climbing? Do you have rental gear available?

Wear comfortable, stretchy, workout clothing for climbing.

If rope climbing, you’ll need to wear a harness. We recommend using climbing-specific shoes while climbing, though this is not required so you can use comfortable athletic shoes for climbing if you prefer.

We do have harnesses, climbing shoes and belay devices available for rent.

Bring a water bottle and some snacks for your visit, too.

What is belaying?

What kind of climbing can I do by myself?

We have many instructional programs available to you, check out the adult programs and kids programs for options. If it’s your first time climbing, we highly recommend taking an Intro to Climbing course.

Bouldering (climbing shorter distances with no rope) is also a great option when visiting alone, and you are likely to meet other climbers as well. Qualified belayers may also access our auto-belay devices which are set up on some of the roped wall climbs while climbing alone or with others. Just ask for a brief safety and usage tutorial from a staff member first.

How old does my child need to be to climb?

What can I do if I'm not climbing?

We invite you to try out climbing too if you’d like! If not, we also have fitness equipment available for use, yoga and wellness classes too. Feel free to just relax in one of our many hang out zones inside or outside the gym.

If your child is older than 14, they can be unsupervised and we are also close to grocery stores, shopping, coffee shops and restaurants, so you can take off for that. Kids under 14 must be supervised, so please either stick around or sign them up for one of our many programs.
