See the Auto-belay in action!

Climbing Experience

Auto-belay Climbing

Auto belays are devices that allow individual climbers to climb the wall and come back to the ground on their own.  The tethers on these devices retract as the climber moves up the wall and then, when the climber lets go of the wall, the device lowers them to the ground at a consistent speed.  Climbers can us them to climb to the top of the walls without needing a partner controlling the ropes.  And the ride back down is pretty darn fun too!

Note: young children will require assistance from an adult or older child in attaching to the auto belays.

Climbing Experience passes to use the Auto belays also include bouldering.

Times

Use of the Auto belays is normally available during regular operating hours.  Check out the Public Calendar to plan your visit.  Session times can be booked below and start on the half-hour.

Bouldering can be a very social activity as groups of climbers share tips and encouragement as they challenge themselves on the wall.  It is also ideal for  single climber wanting a great climbing workout.  Bouldering is perfect for climbers of all levels of experience and ability.

Bouldering is available any time during regular operating hours.  Check out the Public Calendar to plan your visit.
