Climbing Wall at the Center of Clayton

The Climbing wall is 31' high and covers approximately 500 square feet. It utilizes top-rope style climbing in which a rope runs from a climber’s harness through an anchor at the top of the route and back down to a belayer on the ground. Top-rope climbers generally will not fall more than a short distance and can thus safely attempt even the most difficult routes.


Open Climb

Open climb is time scheduled for anyone ages 5 and over to climb the wall. No registration is necessary to attend. Center certified staff offers belay and limited instruction during this time. Climbing may be limited dependent on total number of guests climbing. Bouldering (climbing without ropes) is allowed for all guests during Open Climb. When bouldering, a climbers head may not exceed 12’ above the floor. Staff has the right to modify this height to under 12 feet based on the climber’s age or ability.
