The Gym

Bouldering

Bouldering is a form of rock climbing that involves climbing short, challenging routes without the use of ropes or harnesses. We have got 3 bouldering areas, that just require a quick safety orientation to start using. 

Auto Belays

Auto belays are automated devices designed to help you ascend our walls and gently lower you down afterward. We have 7 auto belays available, and a quick orientation is all it takes to use them. Minimum weight 22lbs - Max 300lbs. You must be at least 11 years old to clip yourself in, and all participants under 13 must be under direct supervision.

Top Ropes

Using top ropes requires extra training. This rope setup involves a climber on one end while another person "belays" the climber. With over 40 top ropes available, they offer a wide range of routes to explore when you're ready to step up your game. Classes are offer on a limited schedule, and participants are encouraged to schedule in advance. You must be at least 13 years old to belay or learn how to belay.

Lead Climbing

Lead climbing involves ascending a wall while attaching the rope to protection points. We offer 21+ lead lines, but this type of climbing demands advanced skills, training, and certification to use safely. Assisted braking devices are required. Black Diamond Pilots and Petzl Gri-Gri's are available for free use to all lead climbers.

Training

We offer a range of training tools to enhance your climbing skills, including an adjustable Tension Board, a campus board, hang boards, and pull-up bars. We also provide kettlebells, free weights, a weight vest, an Indo Board, elastic straps, and more for your training needs.
