Helping Everyone Climb

Young people need activities that foster a love of sport and build self-confidence. Their developing brains crave puzzles and challenges. Rock climbing provides a great mix of mental challenges and physical puzzles.

🎉 Exciting Update: Grigri’s on All Fixed Ropes! 🧗‍♀️

Starting December 2nd, all fixed ropes at our facility will have a Grigri belay device permanently attached. If you already have a Top Rope proficiency card, you’ll need to demonstrate your proficiency using a Grigri. Don’t worry—quick lessons will be available if needed!

Why this change?
Assisted braking devices (we are using Grigris) are becoming the standard in climbing gyms across the country and internationally. Our goal is to make climbing more accessible for everyone who visits us. This system allows us to introduce new climbers to the joy of climbing, helping them get on the ropes and up the wall with ease.

Thank you for being part of our amazing climbing community! 🧗✨
