Frequently Asked Questions

​

Do I need a reservation?

Walk-ins are welcome unless otherwise noted for special events or parties. For groups of 10 or more, we ask that you do make a reservation. You can do this by giving us a call at 208-252-9973

 

How long should I plan to stay?

Most guests stay 1–2 hours. Your day pass is good for the whole day. Come climb for a few hours and then if you'd like, come back later in the day and climb some more.

 

Can kids climb?

Yes! We welcome kids and families. Children 12 and under must be supervised by an adult at all times. 

 

Do I need to be strong to climb?

Not at all! Climbing is more about technique, balance, and problem-solving than pure strength. Our routes are designed for all ability levels, so beginners can have fun right away. As you climb, you'll naturally build strength, endurance, and confidence.

 

Can beginners really do it?

Absolutely. We have climbing walls for all levels of climbers.

​

Do I need a partner to climb?

Nope! You can come by yourself and still have a great time. Our bouldering walls and auto belays make it easy to climb solo, and if you're interested in top-rope climbing, our staff can help you get connected with other climbers or explain your options.
