KIDS CLIMB

Boulder Area Supervision Education (BASE)

In an effort to minimize risk for boulder area climbers of all ages and abilities, we are creating a new child age limit in the boulder area beginning Tuesday, August 1st. Kids ages 9 & under will no longer be allowed in the boulder area unless currently enrolled in a REC Team / Comp Team at the gym AND accompanied by a parent. ⁠
