Tips & Advice

  • Complete all necessary waivers online in advance to expedite the check-in process for both climbers and spectators.
  • While bouldering is not included, consider purchasing a Day Pass if participants wish to climb before or after the main event activities.
  • Ensure children under 16 are supervised by an adult (18+) at all times, with a ratio of 1 adult per 3 children for those 12 and under.
  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows for a full range of motion, similar to what you'd wear for a gym class. Laced sneakers are required for birthday parties.
