How Physically Fit Do I Have To Be To Climb?
Our facility caters to many ability levels. We have a variety of fun beginner routes as well as extremely difficult advanced routes.

Are There Any Age Requirements?
No matter the age, we have routes that you will love. We provide a full body harness for our youngest climbers. Climbing passes for those 2 and under are free. However, you must be 14 or older in order to belay

Does Climb Kalamazoo Ever Provide Belayers?
If your time does not allow you to take the belay lesson or if you would like to use additional belayers for your group you may hire our staff to belay for your group. Simply call ahead at least two weeks in advance to schedule staff belayers.

What If I Do Not Have A Partner?
If you do not have a partner, contact anyone from our Need a Climbing Partner List or try bouldering. Climb Kalamazoo is a great place to meet new people!

What Happens When I Arrive?
After you are checked in, we will teach everyone 14 or older how to belay (safety lesson). Depending on how many people are in a group, lessons are 45-60 minutes. No appointment is necessary for the safety lesson. See climbing instruction for times. If you have learned to belay elsewhere, we will do a safety check to certify you to belay at our facility. Lessons are to be done by Climb Kalamazoo staff only. After you are certified, we will provide free refreshers as needed.
Where to Park

What Do I Need To Bring?
Wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to move freely. If you do not have climbing equipment, it is available for rent or purchase. Outside shoes are not allowed on the climbing floor. If you do not want to rent climbing shoes bring a pair of shoes that are for inside use only.

Bring a partner who is at least 14 years of age. You will need at least one partner to use the ropes because climbing involves both a climber and a belayer.

All participants must have a current Release of Liability form (waiver) on file each year. Youth under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian signature. Notes from parent/guardian are not accepted.
