Top Rope

• Top roping is climbing up to 35ft while your partner belays (takes up the slack) for you. At our facility the climbing grades in top rope start at 5.6, so isn’t necessarily beginner appropriate, we recommend trying our auto-belays first before signing up for a top rope lesson.
• We have changed our belay style to belaying off harness, instead of off ground anchors like the old facility.
• Top Rope will also include bouldering and auto-belay orientations for those who haven’t done them already at our new facility
• All ages (belayers must be age 14+)
• Equipment requirements: climbing shoes & harness  
  • Grigris and ropes are provided for top rope
