As you might expect, indoor and outdoor climbing was born from climbing outdoors. Climbers wanted a way to train climbing-specific movements even during wet or wintry seasons. In the mid-to-late 1900s, climbing gyms began as simple wooden contraptions in basements and garages.

 

These days, our climbing gyms resemble Olympic training centers more than sheds.

Indoor and outdoor competition climbing has evolved into its own sport with its

own World Cup circuit.

Our theme Climbing zones aims for kids aged 3 and up. Theme Climbing includes colorful wall panels and towers of fun. Children can climb large colorful shapes, spinning toys, claw their way on anything you dream up.

Climbing uses many different parts of the body. The most upward movement comes from pushing with your legs. The upper body and arms are used in various ways to pull, push, and balance your way up the wall. That means full-body involvement, though the back, biceps, and core are used heavily.

Climbing outdoors is entirely different from climbing in a gym. There’s no tape or color coding to help you decipher a climb. Holds and climbing styles vary widely by rock type. The environment is less predictable, and you may have to hike your way in. You’ll have to bring climbing ropes or crash pads along with you.

Generally speaking, indoor climbing is actually safer than many other sports. Our indoor climbing gyms are designed to eliminate variables and ensure that safety systems are in place.

Unlike aid climbing, free climbing is characterized by making upward progress relying only on the natural features of the rock—using ropes and equipment only to protect a fall and provide a belay. Most rock climbing is considered free climbing.

Many of our gyms have a dedicated area for kids to climb. Most gyms can host events like birthday parties and will provide gear, space, and belayers. If you’re looking for a fun activity with the kids, climbing gyms are a good option. Kids naturally have a great strength-to-weight ratio, they’re highly adaptable, and they often love to climb. Many children are more comfortable on the wall than their parents.
