Safety First
Our team is here to ensure a safe environment for everyone. All climbers must pass a quick safety check before using the top rope area independently. You’ll always have staff support nearby if you need help.

Once you’ve completed the induction, you’re ready to enjoy the wall! Take your time, climb within your comfort level, and most importantly—have fun.
