This section will alleviate your fears, inform about our safety systems, clarify age policies and answer commonly asked questions. At VIRG , we take the challenge and fitness benefits of climbing and remove the unpredictability of the mountain environment. We make this sport accessible to all. Because indoor climbing is relatively new, we must spend some time educating our customers. Primarily, we focus on safety by following all of the standards set forth by the Climbing Gym Association of North America's Accepted Industry Practices.
Safety is our utmost concern and our systems are of the highest caliber.
Top roping eliminates risks and thus, increase access to many different routes of varying difficulty. Our instructors manage the rope for all children 10 years and under. With safety checks and backups at every point during the climbing progression, no child leaves the ground before they are given the OK by one of our instructors. Bouldering - Climbers stay low to the ground and traverse the wall horizontally to become familiar with climbing movement. Boulderers have a spotting partner and are supervised by instructors at all times.
