We receive a lot of questions about how young is too young to climb at our facility. While every child is different size and ability wise, our age restrictions are as follow:
- Auto belay wall: ages 5+ (ages 7+ suggested)
- Bouldering: ages 7+
*Scroll down to the bottom of the page for rules and limitations on bringing children climbing.
Follow steps 1 to 4 before dropping into the climbing gym!
STEP ONE:
We are a Bouldering Gym! What is Bouldering? Is Bouldering rock climbing?
- Bouldering IS rock climbing, but closer to the ground without the need for a rope or harness.
- Down climbing is the safest way down, but if you fall or jump down, you land on crash pads on the floor.
- The maximum height you can boulder in our facility is 15 feet.
- Bouldering is great for beginners because you don’t need to learn how to use complicated climbing equipment to get started, just a pair of climbing shoes!
STEP TWO:
Complete your waiver,
Adults age 19+: ADULT WAIVER
Children and Youth under 19, MUST be filled by own parent: YOUTH UNDER 19 WAIVER
- Each climber must complete THEIR OWN waiver, unless you are a parent completing a waiver for your child.
- Waivers are kept on file for 12 months, after which we’ll ask you to fill out a new one.
STEP THREE:
Make sure you meet these requirements for bringing youth and children:
Youth and Children
- Group size is limited to 4 for children under age 14 without a booking (drop-in).
- Please do not organize multiple drop-in groups to climb at the same time.
- A parent supervisor is required for children under 14. This parent must stay with the group and watch them the entire time.
- Bouldering minimum age: 7
- Auto belay wall minimum age: 5 (ages 7+ recommended)
STEP FOUR:
Come Climbing! All new climbers receive an orientation before they start.
