What is involved in a day of rock climbing?
Our courses are catered specifically
to the individual or group involved. There are some basic skills that
every climber needs to know. These skills are covered in every course.
After observing your first few climbs, your guide will be able to
competently design the rest of the day around your personal goals
and needs.
Do
I need any prior experience?
No. Your instructor will have
a good idea of what you're capable of and will take you to the routes
on which you will be able to reach the top. We will do our best to
make your first climbing trip fun and rewarding.

How high are the cliffs?
Between 30 and 60 feet.
What do I need to bring?
Tennis shoes and pants or modest shorts that do
not restrict stepping up high. Bring a sack lunch and plenty of water.
You will be provided with a small backpack which contains your helmet,
shoes, harness, and belay device. Remember there is no
extra fee for gear rental! Don't forget your
camera!
Do you take kids?
Yes! Rock climbing is a great activity for families
and youth groups. We have seen parents out climbing with kids as
young as three years of age. We typically recommend a minimum age
of five but you as the parent know best when your child is ready
to try rock climbing.
Aren't I too old to rock climb?
No! There have been many climbers who began climbing well into their 50's. You're never too old to try something new or to get in shape. You can do it!
