Top Rope
Top-rope climbing is climbing that is done utilizing a safety rope that is connected to an anchor point at the top of the climb. One end of the rope is attached to the climber, and then runs up to the top of the climb, through an anchor, and back down to a safety person (known as a belayer). As the climber climbs, the belayer will take up the slack in the rope. If the climber should slip, they will not fall to the ground as they are attached to the safety line and caught by the belayer. After reaching the highest point that they can, the climber is gently lowered safely back to the ground by the belayer.

Bouldering
Bouldering is climbing at a level low enough to the ground as to reduce the chances of getting hurt in the event of a fall. Climbers participating in bouldering are generally less concerned with how high they climb, and focus instead on the difficulty of the climbing moves they can accomplish. Bouldering is a great way to train specific technique and to develop real climbing strength.

Open during Recreation Center Hours
Note: No Top Rope hours during facility closures or summer.
- 10 feet high
