Frequently Asked Questions

We are located right off of Route 9 in Hadley. See link to our googlemap location.

We have top-rope climbing, lead-climbing, and bouldering at our facility. Top-rope climbing requires that climbers know how to belay and tie a figure-8 follow through knot. Click here for beginner belay class information and times.

Lead climbing requires that each climber be certified by the facility staff. Climbers who are new to leading must take our instruction lead climbing course. Check our events tab for information about our next lead class.

You want to wear clothes that do not restrict your movement while also not being too baggy. Baggy clothes will get in the way of your equipment while you are climbing. It is recommended that you wear shorts or pants that do not need a belt.

Climbing is an inherently dangerous sport. We go to great lengths to make our facilities as safe as possible to ensure that patrons of the facility are safe. That said, we require a waiver from every visitor to the gym in order to stay in operation and for insurance purposes.

Belaying is the process of managing the rope so that the person climbing does not fall to the ground when coming off of the climbing wall. Belayers are also responsible for lowering the climber when they reach the top. We provide a 1-hour instructional class on belaying throughout the week. Please see our Belay Instructional page for more information.

We are developing an entire series of classes geared toward both novice and experienced climbers. Currently, we offer a beginner and intermediate technique class (more info here) and a beginner lead climbing class (more info here).

More to come including a bouldering specific clinic, a health and injury prevention clinic, and a lead climbing technique class.

Private sessions can be set up with one of our instructors, but we prefer to get climbers placed into the group setting that our regularly scheduled clinics offer. If those days don’t work, just give us a call and we’ll arrange something that works for you.

We have a section of our gym dedicated to child friendly climbs. These walls are 12 feet shorter in height, making it easier to communicate between the climber and belayer, and make the climber feel more comfortable in a unique environment.

We also have numerous programs that are geared toward children including, birthday parties, summer camps,  a youth climbing team, lock-ins, and Let-us-Belay (See Rates) where our staff does the belaying. Follow each of the links for more details.
