• Plan your visit during our staffed open hours (varies by location). You do NOT need to make an appointment.
• Wear comfortable clothing. We have free climbing shoes for you to use – toddler to size 15!
• Let our Front Desk crew know that you are new, and they will help get you set up and oriented to our facility!
• When you’re on your own, don’t be afraid to ask someone for tips on the climb you’re trying. We all started in the same place once, and it’s immensely satisfying to see people improve with tips you’ve given.
• It’s easy to get started if you try bouldering first: there is no “safety equipment.”  The floor is covered with a foot of foam and vinyl. If you fall, it’s a cushioned fall. Generally our fear of falling is what keeps us from getting into too much trouble.

You don’t have to get to the top. You just have to have fun and do your best.

Want to take your climbing to the next level? Ask our Front Desk crew to show you how to use the autobelay machines in our rope areas! To access top rope or lead climbing, you will need to be certified in our facility. You can do this by “testing out” with Front Desk crew or taking a class to learn!
