Climbing gym etiquette
Give climbers room
Don’t crowd someone who’s on the wall; they have right of way
Watch your chalk
Please be respectful when chalking up; use a chalk bucket to prevent excess spilling. Rental chalk bags, or chalk balls and liquid chalk for purchase are available at the front desk.
Stay clear of fall zones
Never sit, stand, or leave gear under a climber. The same goes for problems that crisscross or overlap; wait until the entire climb & fall zone is clear to start.
No food, drink, or gear on the mats
But feel free to keep it with your stuff in our cubbies or designated storage areas. If using a camera or tripod, please be respectful to other gym-goers; your camera does not give you the right of way.
Ask before giving beta
Share tips only if someone asks; avoid “beta spraying”
Respect gym staff & setters
They're here to help everyone.
Gym policies
Be kind
We welcome any kind of climber. Inappropriate behavior won't be tolerated.
Age restrictions
Children over 5 are welcome to climb at our gym, provided they follow the same rules and etiquette as everyone else. Children under 14 must be directly supervised by an adult. The fitness area is limited to ages 14& up, and recovery suite for ages 16 & up.
Food and drinks are welcome, just not on the mats
Feel free to bring snacks or a water bottle, but keep them in the lounge or designated areas. This helps us keep the climbing surfaces clean.
Parties and events should reserve ahead
If you’re planning a party, team-building event, or group outing at our fitness center, please book in advance so we can make sure the space and staff are ready for you.
Waivers are required for everyone
Every guest, whether climbing or just visiting, needs to have a signed waiver before entering the gym. It only takes a minute, and once it’s done you’re all set to enjoy the space. Parents/guardians must sign for minors.
Be a "helicopter parent"
Children between 5-8 must be closely supervised by an adult at all times. There must be a 1:2 parent to climber ratio for kids between 5-8 years old, and 1:3 for kids aged 8-14 years. There are no unsupervised drop-offs at any time.
Climbing Shoes are Required
Please, no barefoot climbing or climbing using street shoes or sneakers on the mats & walls. Outdoor climbing shoes must be cleaned before use to prevent dirt buildup on holds. Children whose shoe-size is smaller than our smallest available rental size are welcome to climb in socks or their own shoes, provided they’re clean from dirt and grime.
Health & Physical Condition
Climbers should be in good health and free from conditions that could impair their ability to climb. Climbing under the influence of drugs or alcohol is strictly prohibited, including the recent past use of drugs or alcohol.
Check In at the front desk
Everyone must check in at the front desk upon arrival. First time visitors must complete a mandatory orientation covering gym rules and facility layout.
The gym is for climbing
We love having kids and families here, but the padded floors and walls are designed for climbing, not running games or tag. Please help us keep the space fun for everyone.
No climbing shoes in the restrooms
Please change into other shoes to use the restrooms to help keep the holds & mats sanitary.
Follow staff guidance
Our team at the rock climbing gym is here to keep the gym welcoming. Please respect their instructions, as it helps everyone have a better experience. Access privileges can be revoked at any time for violating rules, policies, or common sense.
