ROCK WALL

Looking for some adventure education and physical enrichment, but it’s too cold for you outside? Climb to new heights at the Cispus Learning Center indoor rock wall. Certified staff and equipment are provided for anyone age 5 and up. Our indoor climbing facility has four walls and eight top rope belays ranging from beginner to advanced. When you come and climb with Cispus, your day will consist of a large group welcome where we will cover the philosophy of social emotional learning, safety ground rules, the concept of challenge by choices, the groups goals for the day, bouldering, team belay and belay commands, and top rope climbing.

After playing a few warm up stretches and games, the group will then move through our bouldering and belay program. The group will start practicing their climbing skills by bouldering and spotting. As the group becomes more comfortable with different climbing holds and positions, their facilitator(s) will get the group geared up and teach them the basics of a team belay, including technique and commands. Finally, we will end the day free-climbing as we use all the skills we developed. This is a great program build participant comradery and can be built to meet the needs and culture of your group.
