Bouldering
Bouldering is climbing on shorter walls with more dynamic movements and is a great way to experience rock climbing without any need for prior experience. Come in, and our staff will give you an introduction to the sport that will allow you to enjoy our bouldering facility to its fullest potential. No appointments or classes necessary!
BoulderingAuto Belays
Our Auto-Belay systems will make getting up the taller climbing walls hassle-free! Designed to lower children and adults at a slow, controlled rate, these devices are easy to use. Purchase a day pass and rental gear, get a 5-10 minute orientation on how to use the Auto-Belays properly, and away you go!
*Accessible top rope area.
