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.

We do require a valid waiver to be completed to be in our facilities. You can give us a call to check if an old waiver is still valid or you can fill one out here:

FAQs

1.  How much does it cost?
Check out our Prices for day passes, punch cards, and memberships.

2. How old do you have to be to climb?
There is no minimum age for climbing!  Any age is welcome!

3. What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that you can easily move around in.  If you don’t want to rent climbing shoes, tight-fitting running shoes with a good grip are a good alternative.

4. How old do you have to be to stay at the gym on your own? 
If you are under 13 yrs, you need to be accompanied by someone over 13 yrs. We require 1 supervisor to every 5 climbers under 13 yrs.

5. Do I need to book anything before coming in?
Nope!  You can just show up any time during operating hours.

6. Do I need to book if I’m bringing in a group of people?
We would love if you would send us an email at waterloo@grandriverrocks.com if you are bringing in a group of climbers.

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!
