Hold 01 — Start here

Intro class is the bottom row.

A first session built for people who have never climbed, or haven't climbed since they were a kid. You learn the basics, you get on the wall, and you leave knowing what your hands and feet are supposed to do.

  1. Chalk up Hands in the bag, dust off the nerves. Everyone looks the same after the first handful.
  2. Meet your group You climb with other first-timers, so nobody is watching you figure it out.
  3. Get on the wall You start low, on the big obvious holds, and work sideways from there.
  4. Rent what you're missing Shoes and chalk are at the desk if you don't have your own. Turn up in whatever you're wearing.

Hold 03 — For the kids

Youth team.

Where young climbers keep going after the first class. Regular sessions on the wall, and a crew of kids working the same problems.

If your child has been climbing every piece of furniture in the house, this is the place for it.

Hold 04 — What it feels like

Dark walls, bright holds.

The room is dim, the holds are loud, and the whole place smells faintly of chalk. It's a good place to be bad at something for an hour.

  • Chalk in the air
  • Low starts, big holds
  • No experience needed
