Children at the Climbing Wall
Children at the Climbing Wall
The climbing wall is only open to children during facility designated family hours (exception: climbing wall rentals).
There is NO age restriction, however, there is a weight restriction.
- If a child is unable to fit inside any of our provided harnesses, we are unable to allow them to climb.
There is a very limited amount of child sized equipment available:
- 2 harnesses that fit between 14-26 inches around a child’s waist (typically fits 4-7 year-olds).
- 4 harnesses that fit between 22-28 inches around a child’s waist (typically fits 5-10 year-olds).
- 5 child sized helmets.
- No child sized climbing shoes are provided. Children must wear closed-toe shoes in order to climb.
Parents are welcome to bring own harness, shoes, and helmet if they have them. No personal belay devices are allowed.
Children under the age of 16 are restricted to the top-rope side of the wall (possible exception: climbing wall rentals).
Children under the age of 18 are required to wear a helmet at all times while at the climbing wall.
Minor release forms must be filled out each time a child or visitor visits the wall, regardless if they have been to the wall before.
