Rent the Wall

    • Who can climb?
      Any member of the CRC. Children nine and older can climb with adult supervision.
    • How much does it cost?
      There is no charge to use the wall, but you do have to rent equipment and pay for the special climbing instruction & tests prior to being "checked off" to climb on the wall
    • What do I have to do to climb?
      Everyone needs to take our boulder orientation to use the wall. If you wish to climb on rope you need to take the belay test.
    • How do I take the belay test?
      The best way to take the belay test is to go through the Top Rope Climbing Course. Experienced climbers who are comfortable with belaying can take the course directly with approval of the wall staff.
    • What if I was previously qualified at the old ORGT wall?
      All you need to do is take the Boulder Orientation and show the staff that you are still familiar with belaying.
    • What if I just want to try climbing the wall?
      Visit the wall during our free climb hours. We will have staff available to belay you.
