If you’re just starting out in climbing or just want to try something
different, we’ve got the programs for you.
Have Some Fun
Climbing can be a fun occasional activity. It combines healthy
physical effort with a dose of problem solving in a supportive,
friendly atmosphere.
With no experience or training whatsoever we can have anyone climbing
within minutes. So why wait? C’mon in and give it a try!
 Auto
Belay System
Our auto belay systems use hydraulic safety brakes to slowly
and automatically lower you to the ground after you’ve
climbed our wall. Absolutely no experience necessary! Our staff
will put
you in a harness and show
you how to use the auto belays in less than 5 minutes.

Learn Some Skills
Climbing can be an occasional fun activity or an absolute obsession,
but one thing is for certain: Climbing well is
difficult to learn on your own. If you’ve decided to test the waters in climbing and
get some preliminary instruction, check out the two classes listed
below. They’ll get you headed in the right direction.
Basic Skills
Class
Never climbed before? Our Basic Skills
class teaches novices the essential safety skills needed in order
to climb at a Sportrock facility. Upon completion of this class,
students will be able to properly put on a harness, tie into
the rope and belay for a partner. A "must-have" class
for new climbers!

Quick Start
Program
We can teach you to be a rock climber in just three easy
sessions! Our Quick Start Program links Basic Skills
instruction with our
Intro to Climbing Class and is guaranteed to give your
climbing a big boost
up.
Session 1: Basic safety skills
Our basic safety skills class teaches novices the essential
skills needed to use a Sportrock facility including how
to properly put
on a harness, tie into the rope and belay for a partner.
Session 2: Practicing basic safety
After your initial session we’ll ask you to return at a time
convenient for you to practice the skills you learned in Session 1.
You’ll climb with a partner, become proficient
in Session 1 skills and have fun climbing.
Session 3: Intro to Climbing
Our practical introduction to the art of climbing. You’ll learn
how to best contact the climbing wall, what all the tape, numbers and
terms mean. And in addition we’ll teach you the games climbers
play and the safe way to use our bouldering (you’ll
learn what this means too!).
