Please exercise common sense and caution.

• First time visitors are required to fill out a waiver.
• If you are not 18 years old, your waiver must be signed by a parent or legal guardian (waivers are a legal document).
• Children 12 and younger will not be permitted to belay, and must be actively supervised by an adult.
• Floor anchors are required for top rope climbing, especially if there is a significant weight difference between belay partners.
• No running or horseplay.
• Shoes and shirt must be worn while climbing.
• Mats are active climbing areas, please pay attention and use caution at all times.

Bouldering Wall Rules and Guidelines

First time bouldering at Canyons? We offer a quick and easy bouldering orientation for free. All you have to do is ask any staff member at the front desk to help you out.

• You must be 16 years or older to use the bouldering wall. Exceptions to this are any of our youth and team climbers.
• Bouldering is climbing without a rope, every fall is a ground fall which could result in serious injury.
• To reduce the risk of injury follow these guidelines:
  • Down climb instead of dropping
  • Make sure your landing zone is clear
  • Use a spotter and proper falling techniques
  • If unsure of anything ask a staff member
• Never sit or stand underneath the bouldering wall. Climbers may fall unexpectedly, so stay at least 6 feet from the wall when not climbing.
• Proper fall techniques can reduce the risk of injury. Proper fall technique includes:
  • Staying relaxed. Keep arms and legs slightly bent to absorb fall shock.
  • Do not use your hands to break your fall
  • Do not attempt to land standing up.
  • Keep your knees soft and always roll onto your back and butt.
• Bouldering routes are rated differently than top rope routes. Using the V-scale routes begin with V0. The higher the number (V3, V5, V7, etc) the harder the route.
• Do not top off the route. Always down climb before following proper fall techniques.
• No food or drink are allowed on the mats.
• Children are not allowed to play on the mats. Should this occur please let a staff member know.
• Remember, bouldering grades are subjective to each climber. Try any route that looks fun to you!
