Frequently Asked Questions

  • Beta was designed specifically for bouldering. Meaning the majority of our climbing walls do not require ropes or any complex gear besides rock climbing shoes and a chalk bag. However, we do have a dedicated wall for rope climbing. Rope climbing is only available for youth programs, birthday parties, and large groups. These events must be scheduled ahead of time so we can properly staff this wall in order to provide the best experience for our climbers.

  • Not really. A pair of tennis shoes and some comfortable attire is all you need. We rent climbing shoes, but these aren't necessary for your first time, though they WILL improve your performance. No barefoot or opened toed shoes are allowed.

  • Any athletic or loose fitting clothing works great for bouldering.

  • YES!!! You don’t need any prior experience to have a great time bouldering.
