Getting Started

Ages 2-92 climb successfully with us.  Climbing is a 2 person sport.  Those 14 years or older may learn to hold the rope; while the other climbs.  Climbing Skills and Drills quickly help you succeed.  Learn how to use:  Balance, Center of Gravity, Resting Techniques, Hip and Body Placement, Efficient Hand Positions & More....to Climb Higher.

Our Best Start Class is the wisest choice for successful climbing.  Rock climbing shoes will prevent slipping and provide more security.

The High Ropes Course is for groups.  Usually the Best Start Class is included.  A 42' High Rappelling Tower is another option.   View www.sharedadventures.net to learn about our more educational teambuilding offerings.

People With Disabilities
RockVentures includes people with disabilities. A block and tackle system enables people, who are unable to fully use their legs and arms, to hoist themselves, or be hoisted up the rock wall and some of the ropes course elements. We are the only climbing gym and ropes course in our region that provides year around programs accessible to people with disabilities. Contact us today for more information!

         In addition to these courses, RockVentures is now able to offer integrated climbing access for individuals and groups which include people with disabilities. Below, please select the most accurate description of yourself (individual or group) and review the questions to allow us to best help you. We will schedule a time when you/the group can come in for a pre-climbing orientation in order to review these questions and to ensure all needs will be adequately met.
