About the provider

The program’s mission is to encourage its community to consistently grow and push themselves. Facility hours are Monday through Sunday, 10am-10pm. All rental gear is included on the first visit, shoes are $6, and a harness is free the first time.

5 and under always climb for free. Youth 6-14 are too young to belay. Auto-belays still require adults to clip children in if they are under age 12. Guardians are not required to stay for Youth Climbing Club. Top Rope Belaying is a free lesson and the facility is a Gri-Gri only facility.
