Feeling peckish? Our café serves excellent coffee, a variety of teas, and delicious baked treats. You’re also welcome to bring your own snacks if you prefer!
If you’re an experienced climber, there is no need to complete one of our intro courses. Start by completing the Acceptance of Risk form below. When you arrive, we’ll do a quick competency check—it only takes a few minutes.
