About this Event

Come bring your friends and family to Crux! Friendly for kids, folks of all fitness ranges, and brand new climbers! Cosmic is next door for a beer and bite afterwards for those who want to stick around!

You'll pay $17 for a discounted day pass at the Crux gym entrance and there is free climbing gear for first-timers.

Staff members are happy to take newer climbers on an orientation so they know how to use the gear and facility!

What is Crux?

Crux Climbing Center is a 22,000 sqft facility which includes climbing terrain, a yoga studio, a workout area, and a climbing gear shop. Climbing areas have been divvied up into 3 zones: The main hall, the Panda-monium room, and the cave.

The main hall includes a rope canyon, bouldering corral, and transformer bouldering wall. The rope canyon is 30 feet tall and offers auto-belays, top rope, and lead climbing. The bouldering corral is 16 feet tall and may be topped out.

IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT?

Climbing can be a lifelong pursuit. No age is too young, so we welcome all ages. For everyone’s safety, we require that individuals younger than 13 be accompanied by an adult at all times in no more than a 1:4 (parent:child) ratio. Kids younger than 13 may be granted the freedoms of an adult if they can display competency and dedication to our safety policies and rules. The same age limit and expectations apply to youth who wish to belay and lead climb.

WHAT DO I WEAR?

While there is no specific required attire, we do have a few restrictions. Rings, watches, key chains, hoop or dangly earrings should not be worn. Anything that could get caught on part of the climbing terrain or in belay equipment and take part of you or your clothing with it should be removed. Using headphones or earbuds means you may not be able to hear others who may be trying to communicate with you. Please make sure the volume is low enough, so that you can hear what is going on around you. Other than that, just dress comfortably in attire that you would wear for other active endeavors.

DO I NEED SPECIAL SHOES?

Climbing shoes are not required, but some form of closed toe shoes are. If you’d like to get the best out of your climbing experience though, climbing shoes are a must. First-time visitors are provided these for free. After that, shoes and other equipment may be rented for a $5 +tax. Should you choose to wear your own shoes, we strongly recommend that you wear outdoor shoes, preferably thin soled shoes. They’ll grip better, and anyways, we don’t want you to scuff up your nice kicks.

Gear is also free at Crux on your first visit.
