Indoor Rock Climbing FAQs

• Is it secure? Rock climbing gyms typically require a safety course on proper belaying techniques, knots, and other fundamentals for top-rope courses and have designated "beginner" courses for first timers.
• What should participants wear? Loose-fitting clothing that they can easily move around in. You'll be able to grab climbing shoes, harness, and other necessary gear onsite.
• Do participants have to be in good shape? Not really—climbing gyms have courses that cater to a wide range of fitness levels. Generally speaking, if participants can climb a ladder they can indoor rock climb.
• What if participants are afraid of heights? Try bouldering, which takes place on shorter walls and doesn't require harnesses or other top-rope gear. Bouldering focuses more on moving sideways than vertically, so climbers rarely get more than 10–12 feet off the ground.
