No food or beverage (other than water) in the climbing area.

Know your route! Do not begin a climb that interferes with another climber on the wall. Check your descent route and fall zones before climbing down.

Be safe and responsible at all times!

Tips for new climbers:

Warm up! Begin on larger holds to avoid injuries.
Keep your weight on your feet. Your legs are stronger than your arms! Keeping your hips close to the wall can often make this easier.
Keep your arms straight. This reduces the work your muscles have to do.
Remember to rest! Climbing is mostly anaerobic so it can be harder to gauge when you’re getting tired.
