Bouldering

For the boulder, you are NOT tied in to a rope, so if you fall, you fall onto the soft mats below.   All climbers must go through a boulder orientation with staff before climbing.

Tips for First-Time Climbers

If you do not have your own equipment, we have shoe and chalk rentals available.  Wear comfortable clothing that you can easily move around in.  If you don’t have climbing shoes (or if you don’t want to rent shoes) then the next best alternative is a clean pair of tight-fitting running shoes.  And it may sound strange, but short toe nails are best since climbing shoes fit so snug!
