Any time you climb 35+ feet up a sheer wall, there is risk involved. Adventure Rock works hard to minimize those risks while maintaining the essence of the sport. Safety is our top priority.

There are no age restrictions for climbers in the gym. On any given day you won’t be the oldest or the youngest person in the gym. Most of Adventure Rock’s classes start at age 6, however we do have lots of climbers younger than that.

If you are using our auto belays, climbers need to be above 22lbs and below 330 Lbs.

No, by using our auto-belays you don’t need a partner. However, having one can add an additional level of fun to the sport.

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.
