Belay Testing
We do not guarantee availability for all belay tests. Hours where we are short staffed, near max capacity, and/or have ongoing events or programs will prioritize our ability to step away for testing. Due to the high demand during busy hours, we also cannot facilitate top rope tests and lead belay tests back-to-back. You will be required to take your top rope test first and take your lead belay tests on a different day.
Belay Tags
Belay tags must be worn at any time you are belaying or lead climbing in the facility. Climbers receive one free belay tag after the successful completion of a belay test in our facility. Effective November 1st, climbers are responsible for keeping track of their belay tags. One free replacement tag will be provided, but any additional replacement tags will be $2.00 each.
