Why a climbing event?

Climbing is challenging fun! You have to work at it – physically and mentally – but the feelings of accomplishment are well worth the effort.

Climbing is new! Most people have never even tried climbing before, so a climbing event will likely be a novel experience for your group.

Climbing inherently improves group dynamics! Teamwork, leadership, responsibility, and trust improve as participants work together to overcome their fears of falling and the novelty of climbing.

Why our climbing gym?

With over 9,000 square feet of wall space - 20 ropes worth - and the largest bouldering room around, we have plenty for your group to do. The Gym is locally owned and operated by a small staff dedicated to the sport and passionate about teaching.

What do we provide?

We provide all the climbing gear you’ll need, including harnesses, shoes, ropes, belay devices, and carabiners. The facility has plenty of climbing for participants of different abilities. You’ll also have our viewing room with table and chairs for whatever food you may bring along.

Who should come?

A climbing event is best for 6 to 10 participants. There is absolutely no experience necessary. General athletic ability is helpful but not required. Any group considering new ways to improve their dynamics should contact us to brainstorm how we might meet your particular goals.

What happens?

Events generally last about 3 hours. While each program will be customized to suit the group, we generally start with our staff leading the group through a brief introduction of climbing at the gym. Participants then climb at various stations, using roped climbing and bouldering. We usually stop for a group break midway through to discuss progress and goals for the second half of the program. We then climb again for the remaining ~hour, which is usually all that beginner muscles can handle! Ropes-course style initiatives can also be incorporated throughout the event.

Testimonials

"You could only imagine my surprise not to mention panic when on a team building event we were taken to the  Indoor Climbing Gym. My first thought was, "Buddy I'm not getting off the ground" - me who can hardly climb normal stairs and is almost paralyzed with a fear of heights. I thought to myself, not a chance, it was not going to happen, but after the initial shock and with the staff's reassurance and demonstration on the safety of the equipment I, who had been quietly watching, was having second thoughts - maybe I could just try a few inches. So I tightened up my harness and with the sound of my heart pumping in my ears announced to my friends that I was going to try. With the staff and my friends cheering me on I took one step, then another, and before I knew it there I was, 15 feet up off the ground, but the ride wasn't over just yet. Now I had to let go of the wall and trust my friends to lower me down, and I did. Once on the ground I found this experience quite emotional because I realized that I had accomplished something that I thought impossible, and that evening I walked out of the  Indoor Climbing Gym with a sense of accomplishment greater than I could have ever imagined. Throughout life I will encounter many challenges and on this night I realized that with faith and perseverance there is nothing that I cannot accomplish.  ~Chantal

"I believe in the power of trust and the ability to overcome my fears. I went to the  Indoor Climbing Gym with some of our team members and a healthy fear of heights. I may have mentioned the fact it would take a lot to have me climb the walls. We had an excellent instructor who patiently explained climbing and walked us through the gym. I felt I would have to try as it was important to come together as a team. With butterflies in my stomach and small amount of concern as to my spotters, I climbed the wall. It was exhilarating and I am sold on rock climbing. I have tried other walls lately and would have to say, the first experience with the Indoor Ascent was the best!" ~Erika
