Come join us and create unforgettable memories.

EQUIPMENT
We provide a helmet and a climbing harness. You’ll be roped up and belayed.
You’ll need to bring climbing shoes or cleated sneakers, hiking pants or shorts, a sweater or fleece jacket, a windbreaker, and a picnic lunch for full-day multi-pitch climbs.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
For beginners, the focus is on foot placement, belaying, roping up, and top-roping. The goal is to build confidence in yourself and the equipment.
Later, we’ll work on climbing techniques and cover rappelling, lead climbing, and setting belay stations.

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
* The activity is dangerous: During the activity, you’re roped together and secured to the rock with certified anchors. Every belayer has a reliable belay system.
* You need exceptional physical abilities: in rock climbing, progress is rapid, and you’ll have fun from day one.
* Routes are available at all skill levels, from beginner to advanced.
* The activity is for adults only: Children ages 5 and up can finally satisfy their urge to climb trees, and adults will rediscover their inner child… An activity to enjoy with friends or family.
