The CRG Rochester Adult Team is starting Sunday, August 4th! Come join the team and get personalized instruction from our CRG Rochester coaches!

We invite you to attend and find climbing partners, new friends, and get climbing beta from those with similar techniques – whether you’re new to the sport or have been climbing for decades, we can all benefit from support from other ladies on the rocks!

Come take our Intro Belay Class. Learn to ‘belay’; the method of securing a climber on rope. You’ll also learn the knots and devices used to safely climb. This is required to use the ‘top rope’ walls without a staff member.

Learn proper bail techniques including forward rolls, backward rolls and what to do in situations when you least expect to fall. 

A monthly community event designed for families to climb, eat and explore what CRG has to offer. It is a great way to meet others in the climbing community, find climbing partners and socialize. Bring your family and friends!

During Staffed Climbing, staff will take you out on high wall ‘top rope’ climbing in any area of our facility. You can climb and they will manage your safety while giving you advice for making it to the top.

“No Partner? No Problem”, is a offering for belay certified members age 18+ to come in at select times to climb with a staff and meet new climbing partners also in need of a buddy.
