Starter Guide
New to climbing? You’re in the right place. We’ll guide you through every step so you can focus on having fun (and maybe even finding your new favorite hobby).
01
Wear Comfy Clothes
You don’t need fancy gear — just wear something you can move in! Think athletic wear, sneakers or climbing shoes, and hair tied back. No need to dress up — you’re about to crush it.
02
Sign Your Waiver
Get ready to climb! All guests need to create an account and then sign a waiver—it only takes a minute. Fill it out online or at the front desk. Heads up: minors need a guardian’s signature!
03
Rent Your Gear
No gear? No problem. We’ve got you covered with rentals including harnesses, shoes, and chalk. Our team will get you fitted and ready to roll — no awkwardness, we promise.
04
Get a Quick Orientation
We’ll walk you through the basics — how to use the gym, bouldering safety, and how our climbing routes work. No experience needed. Just bring curiosity (and maybe some water).
05
Climb at Your Own Pace
Whether you want to try one climb or stay all day, it’s up to you. Start small or go bold — our gym is your playground. Staff are nearby to answer questions or cheer you on.
