Day-Pass Sales are available anytime during normal business hours: Mon-Fri 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, Sat 9:00 AM –  9:30 PM, Sun 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM.

All active participants must have a valid safety waiver on file. Waivers for people under the age of 18 must be signed by a parent or legal guardian, no exceptions.

First-time climbers over the age of 13 will be able to use the Auto-Belay System and the Bouldering Wall without prior training. If you are interested in Top-Roping, ask a staff member about Beginner Belay training!

Climbers under the age of 13 must be actively supervised by an adult, and will only be able to use the Auto-Belay System, unless accompanied by a Belay-Certified Adult in the Top-Rope area; Bouldering Orientation is a Members-Only class that allows families with kids between the ages of 8 and 12 boulder upon completion.

Each child under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a supervisor on a one-to-one ratio. Supervision includes active spotting, assistance with auto-belays, and proper belaying technique for belay-certified adults.

All climbing involves safety awareness and has certain risks, but Auto-Belays are a great beginner-to-advanced activity and individual training tool when properly used. Auto-Belay use requires every climber to pass a quick orientation confirming proper acceptance of risk and understanding of the system. Kids under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult who accepts this orientation on their behalf; The minimum weight requirement to use the Auto-Belays is 35 pounds.

Beginner Belay Training is offered as a $15 class, by request with staff availibility, or scheduled ahead of time. For more information, check out CLASSES.

Due to changes and growth in our business, we only accommodate parties or personal events with the following restrictions: Private groups are accepted as normal day-pass traffic, with purchase of entry to climb and share use of our space for its intended purpose; Decorations, extra tables, party food service, etc. are not conducive with our facility, and are also not permitted in our parking lot.

Although private parties and events are subject to restrictions, Professional Development groups, Youth Organizations, and Community Services may reach out for details about special consideration! Ask a staff member for details, or email info@cirqueclimbing.com for information on minimum participation requirements, available times, and pricing.

Rental Gear is available for an additional cost: $6 for shoes and $4 for a harness. If you are interested in purchasing a membership, rental equipment is free for the first month!

Cirque offers Day-Pass and Membership discounts for Youth (17 Years or younger), Active Military, and Students with proof of current enrollment.

Sorry, we are not accepting cash at this time; Card and Tap Pay options are available.

Even experienced climbers must perform a brief Auto-Belay orientation and obtain proof of proficiency, recorded on their account by a Staff Member. Although this may seem like a small, unnecessary detail, we believe accident prevention begins in details like this; It is our hope to maintain the presence of Auto-Belays in our gym and ask for your cooperation to help preserve them as a safe training tool for everyone!

If you are an experienced climber and you know how to belay, you will need to take a proficiency test before you may belay in our gym.

• For the belay test you must demonstrate proficiency tying in to the rope using a figure-8-follow-through knot, going through safety checks, using climbing commands, and proper belaying and lowering techniques. We teach and prefer the PBUS Belay method.
• All top-rope lines are pre-loaded with a Grigri; you do not need to bring your own belay device.
• Peer Teaching any knot-tying or belaying is not allowed at Cirque. Belayers must be prepared to show their own experience by passing our proficiency test, or must take a BELAY CLASS, even if just as a refresher.
• Belay Classes are free for Punch-Card, Prepaid, and EFT members – ask Staff for details!

Lead Climb tests are allowed based on gym traffic and staff availability.

• For the lead climb test, you must bring your own rope, belay device, and lead-belay partner – either someone who is testing concurrently or who has already achieved Lead Certification at Cirque.
• Be prepared to demonstrate safe climbing and belaying technique, including proper clipping, foot placement, giving/taking line, taking/catching falls, and other precautionary practices.
• Lead tests will be conducted at a minimum 5.9 climbing grade.

Climbing is a sport that involves a certain amount of risk, and some climbing accidents – indoors or outside – may result in serious injury or death. Safety is our top priority and we are committed to maintaining a safe environment at all times. This involves fostering a community that is also committed to safe practices, communication, and mutual agreement to the rules. Our skilled and knowledgeable staff are dedicated to providing orientation and instruction that ensures your visit to our gym is safe and enjoyable. 

To maintain a safe and standardized level of climbing, we do not allow peer-taught lessons on belaying or other safety skills. If you need instruction please ask a staff member. 

• Bouldering is climbing on smaller climbs that are lower to the ground, thereby eliminating the need for ropes and harnesses. It can be done on your own and does not require any prior instruction aside from a quick safety orientation (the floors are padded to protect your fall).
• Top-roping is where the rope is already set up on the wall for you. The climber and belayer attach to opposite ends of the rope then the climber ascends the wall while the belayer pulls up slack in the rope through a belay device to protect the climber from falling to the ground.
• Lead climbing is a more advanced form of climbing that is reserved for those who are already familiar with top-rope climbing. In lead climbing the climber will clip the rope to carabiners attached to the wall as they progress upwards. Lead climbing requires advanced training and an intermediate climbing ability (5.9 or above).

Belaying is the act of managing the rope through a belay device for your climbing partner so that they can climb and be returned to the ground in a safe manner. As the climber moves up tension is kept on the rope so that if a fall were to occur the climber would not fall very far. When the climber reaches the top the belayer will safely allow rope to feed back through the belay device so that the climber may return back to the ground.

No. There is no peer teaching in the gym. Only Cirque Climbing Gym employees may instruct. This ensures a uniform safety standard in our gym which keep everyone safe.

There is no minimum age to climb at the Cirque Climbing Gym. However kids must be 13 years of age to be allowed in our bouldering area and they need to weigh a minimum of 35 pounds to wear harnesses that allows them to climb in the rope area. There is also no maximum age limit– we regularly see climbers in their 60’s and 70’s making it up the walls with no problem!

You must be at least 13 to belay at the Cirque Climbing Gym. By 13 most kids have both the physical capability and the mental maturity to handle the responsibilities of belaying.

Wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to move freely. People with long hair should bring an elastic band to tie it up since it can be a safety hazard if it is long enough to fall into the belay device.
