Do I need a waiver, and why?
Climbing is an inherently dangerous sport. We go to great lengths to make our facilities as safe as possible to ensure that patrons of the facility are safe. That said, we require a waiver from every visitor to the gym for insurance purposes. All customers under the age of 18 must have a waiver signed by a legal parent or guardian.

What types of climbing are available?
Central Rock Framingham is a bouldering only facility.
Bouldering does not require ropes, instead it focuses on shorter walls (10 – 14 feet tall) with significantly more padding on the ground. Partners are not required for this style of climbing. Check out our First Time Boulderer video for more information. A short bouldering orientation from a CRG staff member is required for this type of climbing.
