CLIMBING AND BOULDERING AT VERTICAL HEAVEN

There are 2 types of climbing indoors at Vertical Heaven:

1. Bouldering

Climbing without ropes on shorter walls. This activity can be done with or without a partner. There are always fun groups of people in the bouldering area to help you build your skills and have a good time with. So come in by yourself or with a pal!

2.  Roped Climbing

Roped climbing allows you to climb to to the top of our taller climbing structures using rope management skills. In order to rope climb, the climber must have the skills to tie into a climbing rope and to have a certified belay climbing partner. If you are not  an experienced rope climber or you and your partner are not  top-rope belay certified please inquire at the front desk on when the next top-rope belay class is offered! Top-Rope Belay class will teach you the basic skills needed to get you climbing on the ropes. Reservations required and spaces are limited.

Belaying

Experienced belayers new to Vertical Heaven will be required to take the Belay Test before being allowed to belay in our facility, lead or top-rope belay. Belay Tests are free and available upon request.
