Every son reaches the top — that's our motto for Rock Climbing Day! Summit Climbing Gym has reserved our private group section featuring top-rope walls from 25 to 45 feet, a dedicated bouldering cave, and a kids' traversal wall for the youngest members.
Certified Summit instructors will lead every dad-son pair through proper harness fitting, climbing commands ("on belay, climb on!"), and technique. This is a YMCA-style introduction — safe, confidence-building, and incredibly fun. Many boys who thought they couldn't do it end up ringing the bell at the top of the 45-foot wall!
