Is Bouldering safe for kids and people in general?
Kids should always be supervised and spotted when they climb to make sure that they do not exceed their individual abilities. KIDS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN INSIDE THE GYM! THE CHANCE OF A CLIMBER FALLING ON THEM IS GREATLY INCREASED WHEN THEY ARE ALLOWED TO RUN OR THEY ARE GENERALLY UNSUPERVISED! Never allow a child to walk, run, or climb below another climber! Adults need to be careful not to exceed their abilities as well. You should always climb within your comfort zone and use a spotter to reduce your risk. It is possible to be injured if you do not exercise good judgment and climb carefully.
Can I bring my own climbing shoes?
Yes, but only climbing specific shoes are allowed on the mats . We rent climbing shoes or bring yours if you own a pair. Kids 5 and under can climb in their regular shoes if the are clean and safe.
Climbing shoes are only required while on the mats.

Can I sign a waiver for a friends kid?
No. It is perfectly acceptable for you to bring children that you are babysitting however every child must have a waiver which has been signed by their parent or their legal guardian.
