What Type of Climbing?

Make sure you pick the facility that’s right for you

Bouldering

Bouldering is a style of climbing that focuses on short routes called “problems.” Using colorful hand- and footholds, climbers scale walls that are 10–17 feet high without ropes or harnesses. Thick padded mats and proper fall technique help reduce the risk of injury. Bouldering can be enjoyed independently or with friends, making it a fun, accessible way to climb for a wide range of experience levels.

Route Climbing

Route climbers ascend taller walls using a harness and rope system for safety. Climbers follow color-coded routes with set difficulty levels (grades). The safety of the climber is supported by a partner (belayer) or an auto belay device that manages the rope attached to the climber through a system connected to the wall.

Belaying requires additional equipment, skills, and knowledge, to be responsible for the safety of the person on the other end of the rope.
