FIRST TIME QUESTIONS

Bouldering is rock climbing without using ropes or harnesses. Typically, the climbs don’t go too high off the ground. In our gym, the entire floor is a giant, foam pad and our boulders only go up fifteen feet. Anyone can boulder! Bouldering is physically demanding, but we’re here to help! You don’t need to have any experience to start. We recommend children are at least 4 years old to start bouldering and all youth under 13 need to be supervised by a parent or guardian while in the gym.

Your first climbing session Shoe rental Beginner orientation Full access to the gym Everything you need. Nothing extra.

The only thing you need to boulder is a pair of climbing shoes and a chalk bag (to keep your hands dry). Technically you don’t need a chalk bag, but it will improve your climbing experience, so we highly recommend it. Bring your own shoes and chalk bag, or rent them from us. Rentals are free on your first visit.
