| Question: Is there an age limit for
rock climbing? |
| It depends on the climber but anyone
can try climbing. The youngest we commonly see
is 4 to 5 years old. |
Question: What is a belayer? |
| The belayers job is to catch the
climber should they fall or want to come down. This task
can be taught to anyone 13 years old or older. The Climber
is tied into one end of the rope, the other end passes through
a secure anchor at the top of the wall and then back through
the belayer’s belay device. As the climber acends the
wall the belayer takes up the slack in the rope. If the climber
should fall or wants to come down, the belayer holds the
rope in the brake position and slowly lowers the climber
to the ground. |
Question: How long will it take me to learn
how to belay? |
| We can teach most people to do this
well in under an hour. (Actually doing it in ½ hour
with our supervision.) |
Question: Do I have to make a reservation? |
| No. We accept walk-ins during any
regular business hours. |
Question: Can I schedule a group before business
hours? |
| If you have a large group it is best
to call and make a reservation. Groups can be scheduled before
regular business hours. |
Question: How tall is your tallest wall? |
| 70 Vertical Feet! |
Question: What is your waiver policy? |
| All customers must have a signed
Vertical Dreams waiver on file. Anyone under 18 must have
this waiver signed by their parents. No other person including

Question: How long are memberships valid for? |
| Well, here is an example. A 1 month
membership bought on July 14 would be good till Aug 14th. |
Question: What do I need to do to climb the 70
foot wall. |
| For safety reasons we do not let
beginners use this area. If you come and take the beginner
lesson you must wait until your 2nd visit to use this area.
We reserve the right to deny this privilege to anyone who
we do not feel is ready. |
