Rock Gym

Mission
The mission of the La Vida Rock Gym is to provide a safe, fun and encouraging environment for kids and adults as they learn and practice climbing and belaying skills.

The Rock Gym offers:

• Climbing/belaying skills relevant to outdoor settings
• Team-building experiences
• Celebration events (birthday parties, graduation parties)
• Development of character, perseverance and self-esteem
• Skill training at the beginner and intermediate climbing levels
• Physical fitness
• Special groups (Parent-Child, home-schooling, etc.)

The rock gym consists of an 8' by 30' bouldering wall, 25' vertical walls, 6 rope climbs and a roof section. We have routes that range from easy to hard: 5.5 - 5.11. These routes are occasionally modified. We currently use Entre Prises and Nicros holds.
