LOCK-IN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. When do you do Lock-ins, and how do I know if a date is available?
We schedule Lock-ins on Friday or Saturdays (or on school holidays) starting at or after 8pm. Check our online Event Calendar for availability.
2. How much do Lock-ins cost?
The cost per participant is $32 for 12 hours private access, program direction, safety equipment, and climbing shoes.
Lock- ins cost a minimum of $640 (a minimum of 20 participants).
Participants who take the belay class, but do not participate in any climbing activities pay just $15 for the lesson.
Adult supervisors who do not participate in the class or any activities do NOT pay any access fee. We welcome their assistance throughout the night!
3. What type of instruction is included?
All lock ins include instruction toward scout merit badges, if desired. Usually, all merit badge requirements can be covered in one night. Requirements 1 and 2 (first aid and Leave No Trace) are the only requirements not covered by Adrenaline Climbing.
Groups with a specific goal or request for the night should speak to an Adrenaline Climbing manager upon reserving the lock in date. Instruction may also include belay, boulder spotting, rappel, climbing technique, care and use of equipment, leadership and teamwork training, and more.
4. Is there a requirement for adult supervision?
Groups with climbers 10 years old or younger will need to have at least one parent per 5 climbers to help belay throughout the night. Adrenaline Climbing will provide 1 coach for every 5 climbers for the first 3 hours of all lock-ins. At least one coach will supervise and provide further instruction throughout the entire night.
5. Is a deposit needed to secure a date?
YES. A visa or mastercard account number is required as security. Reservations are FINAL. Any changes to your reservation, for example date/time/number of participants, must be made at least 7 days in advance of the event date. If a visa or mastercard account is not used to secure a reservation, a $320 deposit in the form of a check or cash may be mailed or hand-delivered. We cannot "pencil you in" for a date.
See RESERVATION POLICIES for further deposit and cancellation details.
6. What equipment is needed?
None. We provide all climbing gear. Climbers should wear loose, comfortable clothing, and bring their own sleeping bags, pillows, cracker barrel, etc.
7. Is there an age limit?
NO
8. Are there any prerequisites for the Rock Climbing Merit Badge?
Yes, see the climbing merit badge book, pp. 6-8. Scouts will need first aid and cpr, and should study the "knowledge-based" requirements (# 4, 5, & 6) at home, prior to the event.
9. What's the maximum number of people allowed to attend?
130
10. What else do I need to know?
All climbers will need a waiver form signed by their parent or guardian. Waiver forms can be filled out on arrival, or completed on our website.
