Climbing & Bouldering Wall


The Climbing Wall, built by Nicros, Inc., consists of two 28’ and four 40’ belay bars to accommodate multiple users. The WestCoast Wall offers varied terrain and features that provide a full spectrum of climbing experiences. The “naturals” in the wall actually let the climber use the wall to climb instead of simply using standard climbing holds. To vary the texture, difficulty, and diversity of the routes, our holds come from numerous manufacturing companies and routes are changed as often as possible.

The Bouldering Wall is an expertly carved surface that enables climbers to feel as if they are climbing on natural rock. The climbing and bouldering wall areas total approximately 2,000 square feet of challenging and exciting climbing.

    

What is Bouldering?
Bouldering is an excellent way to improve one’s climbing strength and technique. This style of climbing has become increasingly popular around the world and is an excellent way to warm up and stretch before climbing. 

Bouldering does not involve the use of ropes and therefore requires the climber to traverse from side to side instead of up the wall vertically.This side-to-side movement allows the climber to improve balance as well as finesse.

Since ropes are not used, equipment is not necessary – although climbing shoes and chalk will make for a considerable improvement in performance, not to mention enjoyment! Everyone is welcome!
