Facility Rules & FAQ

  • All persons staying within the facility, climbing or not, must have a waiver on file. Waivers for minors (under 18 years old) must have a waiver completed by their parent or legal guardian, even if the minor is being accompanied by another authorized adult.
  • All climbers (and their adult supervisors, as applicable), must first receive an orientation from The Edge Rock Gym staff. This applies even if new visitors are experienced climbers.
  • Please refrain from chewing gum or bringing or consuming snacks, food, or drink on the climbing area floor.
  • Traversing (climbing laterally) is permitted on all facility walls without auto-belays. A stripe is drawn approximately 12 ft from the ground on the corners of each wall and indicates the "go no higher" point for traversing climbers. Please allow top rope and lead climbers on the wall right of way.
  • Free solo climbing (climbing without being secured) above the indicated height is strictly prohibited. Reckless behavior endangers the climber and others and may result in an immediate and permanent ban from the facility.
  • Belayers for top rope and lead climbers, as well as lead climbers themselves are subject to proficiency checks by The Edge Rock Gym staff at any time, regardless of how much time has passed since their last facility proficiency check. Proficiency certifications from other facilities do not transfer.
  • Belay instruction may only be conducted by The Edge Rock Gym staff. Members and guests are strictly prohibited from teaching belay technique and non-compliance may result in an immediate and permanent ban from the facility.
  • Upstairs Fitness Center facilities are only for The Edge Rock Gym Members 16 years of age or older, unless part of one of our youth programs while under the instruction or supervision of their Coach. Shoes must be worn at all times within the Fitness Center.
  • Boxing gloves or hand wraps must be worn when using the heavy punching bag.
  • Please refrain from wearing climbing shoes (whether rented or personally owned) in the restroom to prevent spread of germs to the climbing walls.
  • Please refrain from smoking, vaping or using electronic cigarettes within the building.

Management has granted the staff authority to ask any member or guest that refuses to comply with facility rules and safety guidelines to leave the facility.

Absolutely! Though we are more of a training facility than an activities center, children love it here! We'll show you how to identify the routes that are kid-friendly (reachable) by children.

Also - while we don't have a minimum age, we do have a minimum weight of 45 lbs to ensure they can be easily lowered on our belay systems.

We have bouldering (including a cave and Kilter Board), 13 Auto-Belays, 29 Top Ropes, and 17-20 Lead Climbing lanes (depending on how lead routes may traverse over to utilize different columns of draws).  There may be 2-4 routes set on each lane, and some Top Rope lanes also feature draws for Lead Climbing.

We also have an upstairs Fitness Center - it's not available for guests with a Day Pass, but if you're not coming often enough to warrant Membership, a Punch Card (pre-bundled visits) does include Fitness Center access.
