Climbing Wall Activities

  • Boulder - No ropes, no gear. Just you and the wall. One of the simplest forms of climbing, yet a new way to challenge yourself. You'll be surprised to see how much you can push yourself while bouldering and working on our bouldering problems. 
  • Top Rope - You, the wall, your auto-belay, and your harness. There is an awesome feeling you get once you've conquered a wall and a route. In this form of climbing, you can rent equipment from our climbing wall attendant at court 7 during scheduled hours and try a different discipline of climbing. While bouldering is a bit more strength intensive, Top Rope climbing is more endurance and will. You can climb to the top of our 32' wall one step at a time. Be sure to stop by and become qualified with our staff.  
  • Hangboard - A practice tool for you to hone your strength. Climbing stresses our fingers, so please allow our staff to help guide you on using the hangboard and pushing your skills.
  • Lead Climbing -The discipline that follows Top Roping. Rather than having the rope above you at all times, this discipline relies on you clipping your rope as you go. You get to use our ropes and gear while you work on perfecting your skills and maybe transition to the outdoors.

Lead Clinics

Are you getting comfortable top-roping, and want to learn a new skill that you can apply outside? Lead climbing is the method of climbing in which you clip your rope into protection as you ascend, rather than being belayed from a single anchor at the top of the climb (top roping). In this clinic, we’ll teach you the skills needed to effectively lead, climb, and belay.

Program rating is level 1. Climbing experience recommended.

Cancellation Policy: Your clinic may be canceled if at least 3 participants are not registered. You can anticipate notice of cancellation 48 hours in advance.
