Climbing Wall

Our indoor climbing wall is suited for climbers of all ages and abilities. The wall features more than 1,200 sq. ft. of climbing surface with dozens of routes including top rope, lead climbing, and bouldering. Routes are regularly updated so each visit offers new challenges. Whether you are new to climbing, training for fitness, or climbing with friends and family, the wall provides a fun and engaging experience.

We offer beginner classes, private lessons, and group instruction led by trained staff to help climbers learn safely and build confidence on the wall.

Climbing Wall Details

Please wash or sanitize your hands before and after climbing to help maintain a clean and safe environment.
