Belaying is a term climbers use to describe the act of holding a climber’s rope to protect their falls. Our auto-belays are a mechanical belay. Eventually, most climbers learn how to belay.
Many climbers take our Belay class. This is a one time hour and a half class that teaches you the basics of indoor rock climbing. It covers knot tying, belaying, double check systems, commands and technique. Reservations are required to take the class. Any climber who would like to belay in our facility needs to pass a belay proficiency check administered by one of our staff. There is no charge to take the belay proficiency check.
No. Belayers need to be 14 years old or older and have passed our belay proficiency check. Climbers in our children’s programs that have proven their ability to belay proficiently may become belay checked in the gym.
Yes and No. Our staff does not teach belaying on the spot. If you want to climb, we suggest you utilize our Clip’N Go systems until you have the opportunity to take a belay class.
