What's Included in Your Group Climbing Event



90 Minutes Climbing Time

Climbing Harness for Auto-Belay Climbing



An Online Event RSVP Page for Guests that you can personalize!

Before climbing begins, your group will be led through a Facility Orientation, similar to the way individuals, couples, and families visiting on their own (and not during a group reservaton) would - allowing us to inform everyone about safety procedures, facility rules, and the etiquette of a facility like ours: a gym that our members love like their own homes.

Adults will receive instruction on how to operate our Auto-Belays. These are devices that are attached to the tops of several of our walls that a climber attaches to themselves (or children they are responsible for) via an attachment point on the harness.

Once the climber wants to come down from the wall (or if they miss a move and fall, all one has to do is let go of the holds and the device will slowly lower the climber to the ground!

Booking Requirements

Updated Minimum Age Requirement: All children must be at least 5 years of age by their last birthday in order to climb. Younger children may enter the building and spectate but must be under continuous supervision by an accompanying adult.



All guests, climbing or not - including outside vendors such as party caterers, decorators, or entertainment (e.g. magicians or clowns) - must have a facility waiver on file for prolonged time within the facility.

Youth climbers should wear closed-toed athletic shoes. Crocs, sandals, or five-finger toe shoes are not appropriate. Climbers aged 14 and older, as well as any youth climbers without appropriate footwear, will be required to wear rental shoes.

Timeslots

Important: Reservations are not considered complete without leaving a deposit of $85. This may be made in-person, by phone using a credit or debit card, or via the online booking form. We do not recommend using the online booking system until you feel you fully understand how parties at our rock climbing gym are carried out.

Please Note: Reservations during the gym's regular operating hours do not afford the reserved group exclusive use of any climbing spaces and guests are expected to share wall spaces with the gym's other members and guests who may be waiting to climb particular routes. We ask that individuals climb a given wall once or twice, then to move to other areas of the gym before returning to one's favorites to allow everyone a chance.

Pricing



$250 for up to 10 youth climbers, includes harnesses. $25 each additional youth climber.

Youth climbers without appropriate footwear (see Booking Requirements above) or any climbers aged 14 or older must rent shoes at $9.50 per pair.

Considerations

Having your attendees (or their parents) complete their waivers AND arrive early will save as climbing time begins counting down at the start of your reservation time to respect the time of the certified volunteer belay guides who will be coming to assist in your party.

Children’s Birthday Parties: As the organizer, you may have parents (or siblings of your child(ren)'s friends who also wish to climb but it is up to you to decide whether you will cover those parents’/siblings fees or if you want to let them know in advance that they can pay for themselves.

Regarding the Deposit: Your $85 reservation department will go toward the total cost of the reservation, though may be forfeit if our Events Room is left a mess following the party or due to damage to the facility or equipment due to irregular behavior or other unauthorized activity. Your deposit becomes non-refundable if you cancel within three weeks of your booking, as we will not be able to book anyone else for that slot.

Food and Beverages

Food and beverage are not included in the reservation, though drink and snack concessions are available for purchase at our Front Desk, ranging in price from $1.50 and $3.50.

Parties are welcome to bring their own food and drink for their guests. Alcohol and controlled substances are strictly prohibited.

Please Note: We do not have refrigerators for food storage and would not recommend bringing an ice cream cake unless someone can bring it in time for when you'd like to blow candles out.

Alternatively, many parties opt to call out for delivery - pizza from All-Star Pizza is most common! (The gym receives no kick-backs for recommending you, but they're great and know where we are if you simply say your party is at "the rock climbing gym".)

The Events Room (Use is Optional)

If you prefer a very decorative celebration we recommend securing the 9am timeslot to allow you to come in the night before to decorate the room, and otherwise to visit the gym in advance of your reservation to see the space (waivers would be required of everyone who's visiting the facility before we could show you around).

Gym staff is generally scheduled to arrive around 30 minutes prior to the start of a Before Hours Reservation, but woud still need a few minutes to ready the facilities (e.g. turning the lights on, etc.) before being able to welcome you inside.

If you book the 1pm timeslot, if there is a 9am party booked prior to yours, they will clear the room by 11:45am, and staff will need 15-30 minutes to get to clean the room (depending on how busy it is at our Front Desk), which means it would be safe to say you'll be able to enter the events room at 12:15pm-12:30pm to set up, although you'd be welcome to bring your food, drinks, and decorations upstairs from noon on.

Have a Look Around! (Virtual Tour)

Note: Routes are changed regularly so what you see on the walls in the virtual tour won't be exactly what you'll see when you arrive!
