No need to RSVP. Just come! You don’t pay by the hour. Instead, you purchase a day pass which allows you to come and go as you please all day! Only those climbing have to buy a day pass. If you are watching, there is no charge to go in, but you must still fill out a waiver. Parking is limited, so please carpool!

Simply put: every person who comes into the gym and goes beyond the Welcome desk. It is a legal document, so minors will need their parents or guardians to fill them out and sign them.

No. Rock climbing is inherently dangerous. It requires knowledge and personal responsibility. Compliance with all rules, instructions, and warnings CANNOT guarantee your safety. Our staff is here to teach, train, and assist you in reducing the risks, but ultimately the responsibility for your safety is yours.

Yes, we are open to the public. You do not have to have a membership to climb, practice yoga, or eat at the 5.ATE Café.

Like bowling, some people have their gear, and others have to rent gear. Most people rent at least a harness and climbing shoes to climb in the gym’s roped areas. You can also rent a chalk bag (for your hands), or you can get the total rental package (harness, shoes, and chalk). If you only want to boulder (climbing without ropes), you only need to rent climbing shoes. If you would like to, you can purchase gear in our on-site gear store, the R3 Pro Shop. Click here for rental gear pricing.

No, you don’t have to know how to belay. We have 15 auto-belays in the gym if you do not know how to belay or do not have a climbing partner. If you want to learn how to belay, we can teach you! Top Rope Belay Classes are offered several times weekly ($12.95 per person).

If you know how to belay, you do NOT need to take our Top Rope Belay class. Ask our staff to give you a belay check when you arrive. We require the figure-8 follow-through knot backed up with a double overhand safety knot. We provide Black Diamond ATCs for the test, so if you belay with another device, you may want to bring it.

If you are a proficient lead climber or already lead climb at another gym, we still require you to have an inSPIRE Rock lead card and take a lead test. If you haven’t lead climbed before but would like to learn, you can sign up for an Intro to Lead Class. For a copy of our Lead Climbing & Belaying Standards, click here.

Suppose you booked the party with us. YES, if you did not book the party with us, NO. Parties booked with us can access the private party room where cake, food, and drinks can be served. We do not have the space for cake, food, and presents except in the private party room. Because of food laws, the 5.ATE Café can not allow outside food and drinks in their area either. If you do not wish to book a party with us but would like to access the private party room to bring in outside food and drink, you can rent the room for $50 (up to 2 hours) if available. Please call ahead to check availability.

Yes. We offer discounted rates to non-profit organizations for visits Monday-Thursday. To get the discounted rate, you must book with us at least two (2) weeks prior. We do not offer any discounted rates Friday-Sunday. Please visit our group page for details and to book online: www.inspirerock.com/groups
