RATES & RESERVATIONS

We require each participant to register and submit a deposit to reserve a day or event. For participants under the age of 18, a parent or court appointed legal guardian needs to complete their registration. Online reservations require a credit card, we can also accept cash or check with reservation arrangements made over the phone. All reservations are subject to our Cancellation Policy.

Our waivers expire after each New Year, so if you are climbing again during a new year, you will need to complete new paperwork.

We have not had a rate increase in over 2 years. Unfortunately operating costs keep increasing and we are raising all rates for parties of 1 to 4 effective 7/15/2024

Rates are subject to change anytime, prior bookings are not exempt.
