Melville, NY
WE OFFER 2 TYPES OF ROCK CLIMBING FOR BEGINNERS:
1. Top Rope Climbing
Climbing with a Harness and Rope on our 40 foot top rope walls. To climb on our top rope walls, you must be belayed by someone with a Gravity Vault Belay Certification (see more info on Top Rope Belaying* below).
If no-one in your party has belaying experience, you can climb with one of our staff members. Call us at (516) 777-9255 or click "Book Online" in the menu above to make a reservation. Our most popular staff-led option is a Staff Belayed Climbing Session: an hour of fun top rope climbing for up to 4 people with an instructor. Do you have a group of 5 or more? Call us for group climbing options!
2. Bouldering
Climbing without ropes on our 15 foot bouldering walls. If you are looking to boulder, just come on in and purchase a Day Pass
1ST TIME CLIMBERS AND FAMILIES WITH KIDS
