Routefinders
Overview
Our Routefinder programs focus on body movement and progression. We develop kinetic awareness through balance, agility, and determination with core rock claiming potions and beta. Our expert climbing instructors will be on hand to lead you through safety and technique. They will help you gain valuable body awareness, coordination, and agility while having fun in the inspiring environment of our climbing gym.
Wee Climb is our youngest group with climbers ages 3-5. This parent & child program will primarily be climbing on the traverse and bouldering walls with the most significant emphasis on getting moving in a little different manner than usual — vertical. These climbers will get to try out climbing and have an hour spent on and off the wall. We are super excited to get climbers on the wall as early as possible to start good habits and get exposed to climbing sports and outdoor recreation in our area.
Dynos is for climbers 6-12 years old. These climbers will start to get into the technical pieces of climbing and will be over on the top rope wall. This group will learn about climbing and get the benefits of a unique sport with the creative and physical aspects of climbing. They will figure out beta and combine the kinetic puzzle of routes while building confidence and strength.
Senders is our oldest group of climbers for age 13+. In this session, we will dive into the sport’s more technical aspects and discuss the hows and whys of climbing. These climbers will get familiar with multiple climbing disciplines, including bouldering, top rope, and lead climbing. We will work on overall athletic development and problem solving for these young adults.
