shout out to Aya who was a great belay tester! i failed the test the first time, but her coaching was super clear and helpful and really set me up well to pass on the next go-round. thank you so much, Aya and team!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids ages 6 and up who want supervised instruction alongside recreational climbing. Birthday party packages make it a practical venue for celebrations.
