Sportrock offers two styles of climbing for beginners, Top Roping and Bouldering.

Top Roping – Top Roping takes place on our taller walls (25-40 ft) using ropes & harnesses. A belayer is required to take slack out while you climb, which prevents you from falling to the ground when you let go. This is an important skill and only those who have been Top Rope Belay Certified can do this inside Sportrock.

Bouldering – Bouldering is a style of climbing that involves shorter walls (10-15 ft), scaled without ropes or harnesses. Large mats are placed around the bouldering area for protection if you fall. No certification is required for Bouldering and purchasing a Day Pass grants you access to this area.
