Our mission: Adrenaline Climbing is...

...a climber's gym, designed for climbers. It's our mission. Period. Every day, we strive to provide excellent training opportunities and a welcoming environment for all climbers. Our commitment to you is to be a top-notch training facility and a place where you will constantly find fresh, new, and exquisitely crafted routes and problems to challenge you at every level.

WE ALSO WELCOME ALL NEWCOMERS TO THE SPORT! Adults and children alike can experience the challenge, fun, and safety of indoor rock climbing. May we recommend you begin with our 1 hour "Get-a-Grip" climbing session? Your coach will encourage and assist you in your first climbing endeavor, as well as handle the ropes. For more information on Get-a-Grips, please CLICK HERE.

At Adrenaline Climbing we maintain a rigorous route management plan to accomplish this for our climbers. Boulder problems are removed and replaced with fresh, clean holds every six weeks. We craft boulder problems from V0 to V10. Also, we place a wide variety of extra holds on bouldering areas so that climbers can design their own problems. To insure that there are enough climbing routes set for all levels of difficulty, we set routes ranging from the 5.6 to the 5.13 level. Our route management system requires that routes are replaced, rotationally, every 6 to 12 weeks (depending on the level of difficulty; feel free to ask for more information on the route management program). Generally, we provide 60 to 70 routes at any given time. We set lead routes starting at the 5.7 level. In fact, almost all routes between 5.8 and 5.11 offer the option of toprope or lead climbing.

We are committed to keeping Adrenaline Climbing equipped with everything a climber could ask for. We've recently added a killer hangboard station and re-vamped our campus board. Nicros "Pump Rocks" are hanging from our pull-up bar; and you should ask to use the inversion boots for a killer ab workout. We also set training circuits designed to dramatically improve technique, endurance, and route reading skills. If there's something more you want to see at Adrenaline Climbing, ask. We're always listening.
