TOp Rope & Lead Climbing

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

Already know how to belay off harness?
  • If you already know how to belay off your harness you can sign up for a top rope check. Everyone must complete a check in order to top rope at our facility.
    • Approximately 20-30minutes
    • $5/person

    • Edelrid OHMs can be used in our facility and are recommended for partner weight differences of 25%

Lead Checks
  • If you already know how to lead climb using a grigri and feel comfortable climbing at least 5.10a (at our facility) you can sign up for a lead check. Lead checks will include a bouldering and auto-belay orientation and top rope check, for those who haven’t done them already at our new facility.
