Group Lessons (or just fun)
Treat your friends or co-workers to an afternoon or evening of climbing! This is for groups that want to climb together--and no experience is necessary! Sessions may be scheduled during closed hours for your enjoyment. In this two-hour session, your group will learn the basics of climbing and belaying, with lots of time just for fun. This session can be scheduled on weekdays or weekends according to your needs.

Cost: $25 per person (gear included) for two-hour lesson
Corporate Teambuilding Workshops
Climbing is an exciting and powerful way to develop the skills needed to build a strong team in the workplace. Through climbing, co-workers can renew trust and build good communication skills that help make a more productive and supportive workplace. Give us a call to find out how our teambuilding programs can enhance your business.
Refresher Course
Refresh your belay skills--renew your safety check proficiency--improve your figure-eight knotting. This course covers climbing basics, focusing on technique and safety. It is especially good for climbers who have been away from the sport for awhile.

Cost: $12 per person

Personal Training
This is designed to pick up where the other courses left off. In a one-on-one coaching environment, you will learn expert techniques and body positioning, and effective mental preparation and attitude. This is offered by appointment only, as it is an individualized course, and as much as possible is scheduled at your convenience.

Cost: $35 per hour, or $30 per hour for five or more sessions

There is no cost for annual members; for non-members, the cost is $12, which includes a pass and gear for that day.
