What to Wear: comfortable fitted clothing, not too baggy. Rock climbing shoes are provided but you will need socks.

What to expect: There are several rock climbing walls. You will be harnessed in and will have the option to select different “rocks” according to skill level. You will climb up the wall using a lot of your upper body strength along with the support of the harness. once you reach the top or a stopping point you propel down with. There is also a fitness center and a bouldering area. It is completely safe and a great indoor group fitness activity.
