First-Timers

No experience is necessary to start climbing!

UpTown Staff provides all first time visitors with an orientation,
then you will be climbing on our boulder and auto belays in no time.

So long as no objections from your doctor, almost anybody. Our auto-belay devices have an operating limit between 25 and 310 pounds. So that covers just about everybody who can fit into a harness. Parents can bring in the younger ones as well but kids must be at least 3 years old and 25 pounds, and there is very little climbing terrain for the littlest ones. Check here for the minimum age for children’s parties. PARENTS MUST CLOSELY MONITOR ALL CHILDREN AND ENSURE THEY FOLLOW OUR RULES.
