Welcome! So you want to start rock climbing?
This page is meant to get you started by pointing you in the right direction.
Trial Climbs
The first option we recommend is our Trial Climbs service. Structured for those who have not climbed before, Trial Climbs are a set of 3 top-roped climbs that are geared to the individual, during which you will be belayed by one of our courteous staff members.
- Trial Climbs
- $25 / Person
- Offered
- Sat & Sun, 10 AM - 5 PM, by reservation
Bouldering with a Day Pass
Beginners may also choose to boulder, by purchasing a Day Pass. Bouldering is short, unroped climbing above a fixed padded landing surface. Bouldering does not require belay training or additional equipment (though climbing shoes do help). Bouldering starts at a more difficult level than roped climbing.
- Day Pass
- $18
- Climbing Shoes
- $5
