For the safety of all, members and guests are expected to abide by the following rules when using our Climbing Wall.
Climbing carries real risk. Every rule here comes down to safety, respect, and care for yourself, the people around you, and the gear.
Staff may inspect gear, restrict bouldering, prohibit belaying, require adult supervision of minors, and modify these rules at any time. Y programs have priority at the wall.
