Question 11

What types of climbing are available?

Accepted Answer

Bouldering is climbing on a low wall (14-16 feet) that uses large mats to fall on for protection instead of ropes and a belay system. A short bouldering orientation from a HiClimb staff member is required for this type of climbing.   Top-rope climbing requires that climbers know how to belay and tie proper knots. It involves climbing while wearing a harness, attached to a rope which is wrapped around an anchor at the rope of the wall, with someone attached on the other end who is managing the rope correctly, in a way that does not permit you to fall to the ground. The person on the ground is known as the belayer. Anyone who is belaying needs to take a belay test or a belay class, which are both offered every day. Click here for Intro to belay class information and times. For the belay test, you must be able to show competency in making the proper climbing knot and belay procedure without assistance from the staff. Lead climbing  is a more advanced style of climbing that involves clipping your rope into gear on the wall, and in essence, placing your own protection as you climb up the wall. This type of climbing requires more advanced knowledge of the sport and that each climber be certified by the facility staff. Climbers who are new to leading must take our instruction lead climbing course.

Question 12

What is “belaying” and how do I learn?

Accepted Answer

Belaying is the process of managing the rope and risk as a person climbs and lowers. We provide a 2-hour class on belaying every day of the week.    Schedule your Learn The Ropes class and get belay certified!

Question 13

Do you have auto-belays?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We have a limited number of auto-belays. An auto-belay orientation from a staff member is required before using an auto-belay.

Question 14

Do I have to take a belay class in order to climb?

Accepted Answer

No. On your first visit we’ll show you the basics of bouldering and how to use our auto-belays.    We do offer a 2-hour Learn the Ropes class that will have you climbing with instructors. The class price includes a return visit and gear rental.
