Will the weather be canceled for weather?

We won't cancel class till the morning of the class and the instructors will make a decision based on your safety. We realized their rock area can become slippery and could be a hazard. The equipment is sensitive to mud and cleaning mud out of a rope can become a long process.  

Can my 10 year take the class?

We wish we could allow everyone to take the class but this class can require hand strength. This can be overcome by rigging differently but can not be done in a full class. A private class can be a great offer for this option. 

Do you do private classes?

Yes! A private must have a minimum of four people. A great activity for families. The private class starts at $150 and is $35 per person after 4 people with a max of 6.
