ABOUT ABOUT

Let's take things to new heights! It’s safe, fun, and you go at your pace and stop when you’re done. You will be attached to ropes and backup safety to ensure you’re comfortable and getting the thrills and self-discovery that are waiting for you.

This adventurous wellness program is geared for those interested in climbing but never have, have climbed in the gym, or are new to outdoor climbing. Rock climbing and rappelling sessions can be adjusted to any difficulty level to satisfy your enjoyment in a beginner-friendly environment.

Participants will meet us at 29 Furnace Rd, Marietta, PA 17547 on June 23rd, 2023, at 9:00 AM. Please arrive promptly so that we're able to maximize class time.

  • Participants must be at least 8 years of age to participate.
  • No one under the age of 18 can participate without a parent, adult family member, or guardian.
