Is there an age limit? No. However, we recommend 8 and up.  

 

How do I get started, it's my first time? All the info to get started can be found on our First Visit page.  

​

I already know how to belay. Do I need to take the belay instruction? You do not need to take the belay instruction. You must however, pass our belay test by demonstrating you can perform all the tasks involved in tying in, setting up and properly belaying. Taking the belay test is for those that have belayed many times in the past and are very comfortable with the required skills. 

​

Can any age belay? No. Belayers must be 15 years of age or older to belay. Any age may do the toprope climbing, just not holding the rope for others. 

​

Do I need a reservation? Reservations are only required for "groups". Walk-ins are welcome anytime. If you are new and plan on using the ropes (toproping) please follow the directions found here as belay instruction is offered at certain times. 

​

Does everyone need a waiver? Yes. For minors only Parent or Court Appointed Legal Guardian may sign. Aunts, grandparents, sisters, brothers, etc... do not qualify as the parent, 

​

Is there a weight limit? There is not. As long as you can fit into a harness, you can climb. 

​

​

What is belaying? Belaying is the term used to do the rope management for the climbers. In basic terms, taking out the slack, catching the climber and lowering them back to the ground. 

​

I know how to belay can I "TEST" out of the belay course? Yes. Belay tests must be done upon arrival. To pass the belay test, one must be able to correctly put on a harness, tie the figure eight knot, and properly set up and use proper belay technique with a tubular style belay device. If one fails the above requirements they must pay (take) the belay lesson or NOT belay. 

​

What is Toprope climbing? This is climbing with a rope that is attached at the top of the wall. A climber is tied to one end and a belayer is on the other end. Top rope climbing requires two people. 

​

What is Bouldering? Bouldering refers to climbing on our shorter walls that go up to 14ft. There are additional pads to help cushion a climbers fall. Bouldering is a great way to learn climbing movement and offers a great challenge.
