👀 Overseeing your kids, parent-child ratio's:

• Kids over 6 years are welcome under supervision in the weight-gym and on the boulder wall. We do require someone over 18 years supervising, unless kids are enrolled in a course

  ​

👟 Do I need to wear rock climbing shoes:

• ​Yes.
  For hygiene reasons, to stop the germs we step-in outside from going onto our hands. Also, the grip and feeling of the wall makes the entire experience significantly better. We can make exceptions in special circumstances if needed, especially for our neuro-spicy friends

​

🧢 What to Wear:

• ​We suggest, to dress in shorts, loose pants, leggings, and sports tops for ease of movement. Bring socks. We have gear ready for your arrival and can provide you with a harness and climbing shoes​

​​​​​

🧗 Belaying - Holding the Rope:

We require parents and guardians to stay and "belay" (meaning hold the rope) for their kids and other adults:

• We will teach each parent to hold the rope for kids; called "belaying"

• Belayers do not need to be strong, as they do not hold the weight of the climber

• Only 12 year olds or above can belay, we can make exceptions for experienced kids from our courses

• If parents cannot stay, we recommend a ratio of 4 climbers to 1 assisting adult belayer

​​

​⚠️Safety & Supervision:

• We induct and brief all participants on gym safety, etiquette and using equipment including belaying

• Safety rules are explained at the start of the session

• All harnesses are checked before climbing commences

• All climbing activities are supervised by trained staff and covered by insurance

• Climbing shoes are required​

​​​

👩‍🎓 Beginner and kids rock climbing classes:
