Beginner Climber Tutorial
Route Selection
Our rating system starts at V0. The higher the number, the more challenging the grade. Feel free to try routes of varying difficulty, as long as you remain safe! Each route is differentiated by the color of the hold. Try to climb up using only holds of that color.
Starting the climb
Start holds are marked by tape. If there is one piece of tape, the proper start is to put two hands on it with your feet off the floor (on another hold, on the wall, etc.).
Other Climbing Start Postion
If there are two pieces of tape, the proper start is to put one hand on each hold that has the piece of tape, with your feet off the floor.
Ending the Climb
The end of the route is also marked with one piece of tape. End the route by putting two hands on that hold in a controlled manner. This typically means having two hands there for 3 seconds, rather than jumping up and briefly touching it.
Getting Down
We strongly urge climbers to climb down and not jump down. When down-climbing, you can use any colored hold that allows for an easier descent. We have down-climb holds to assist with climbing down, please use them!
