Question 7

What can I expect on my first visit to Adventus Climbing Center?

Accepted Answer

Check out our First Time Visitors page for the steps and tips to make your first visit enjoyable.

On your first visit, you’ll be sized with some climbing shoes and a harness (if you don’t have your own) and complete an orientation. During the orientation, you will be introduced to the features of our facility, the rules and child supervision policies, and learn how to climb in both our bouldering area and how to use our auto belays.

While you can climb tall wall auto belays with the base orientation, climbing the taller walls with ropes requires additional training. Either you’ll show us you've had experience top roping and know how to belay, or you’ll need to take a Learn the Ropes class in which you learn to use standardized practices and safety checks.

The lead climbing area requires yet another level of experience. We will share the process of getting certified.

Please wear clothing that is comfortable, athletic, and does not restrict movement. We ask that you consider our family friendly environment and wear appropriate clothing.

Rock climbing is inherently a dangerous sport, but when you follow our policies and practices, the risks are minimized.
