No, not at all. Both bouldering and rope climbing is open to all skill levels and our belay class can have first time climbers climbing in 45-60 minutes and includes all the climbing equipment needed. High quality climbing equipment is also available for rent or purchase.

Currently, you do not need an appointment to visit our facility.

Certain clinics, classes, and events may require bookings and advanced notice.

If you are bringing a group please visit our Group/Birthdays page for information, availability and bookings.

We do not have an age minimum in order to climb, although we find that 5 years and older is a good general age.

Every child is different in body strength and awareness. We have had climbers as young as 3 years old climb successfully and happily. Children under 14 years old must be under direct adult supervision at all times while in the climbing gym.

You must be 14 years or older in order to Belay other climbers.

Belaying is the act of securing a roped climber by using a belay device and climbing rope to minimize the impact of a fall.

The belayer is responsible for the climber who is climbing on their rope. Duties of belayers include: taking up slack as the climber ascends, catching falls, lowering, and double checking the climber's harness and tie-in.

In order to belay you must 14 years old or older and successfully complete a belay test out (free) or take a belay class ($30, $10 for members).

All top-rope climbers and belayers who are 14 years old and older who cannot "Test Out" using proper belay technique and tie-in when walking in the door require a belay class.

If you, your kids, or your friends are planning on rope climbing during public hours, you must know how to belay.

Remember belaying is a critical part of a climber's system: If it has been a while since you have belayed please be prepared to complete a class if you cannot "Test Out" with 100% proficiency on a ATC/tube style belay device using a PBUS/AMGA/CWA style belay technique.

You want to wear clothes that allow you to move freely. Athletic wear works fine. Our new textured walls have grit so you might want to wear long leggings and long sleeves.
