Frequently Asked Questions
 What do I need to do to start climbing?
To get started climbing you need to come in and be willing to try it. Simple. Specifically, you will need to complete a waiver, pay admission, get some gear, and take a belay class.
What is belaying?
Belaying is managing the rope that is attached to the person you are climbing with. As a belayer, you are responsible for arresting (stopping) a partner's fall and lowering them to the ground when they have finished a climb.
We can teach you to safely belay in approximately 45 minutes. Classes start every two hours starting at noon, the last class is two hours before closing.
