Climbing Options for Adults
- Do I need a climbing partner? Not necessarily. You can climb solo on our bouldering walls or auto-belays. If you want to try top-rope climbing you'll need a friend to belay you or try our belay service. Rates info here.
- What to Wear: Athletic clothing like leggings or shorts and sneakers (or rent climbing shoes).
- Climbing Types:
- Bouldering: No ropes, shorter walls, mats for safety.
- Top Rope: Climb with a harness and belay partner (or use an auto-belay).
What will it cost?
It’s $25 for each adults who is a first-time climber. This gets you:
- A full access day pass
- Belay safety instruction (must be 14+ for belay instruction)
- A rental harness

If you’re bringing kids but are not planning to climb yourself, you will want to purchase a $7 Belayer Only Pass which includes belay safety instruction and a rental harness.
