VALLEY ROCK GYM RULES

Be kind, respectful and inclusive to other users.

Control your body, language, and voice to ensure a safe and welcoming space for all.

Everyone must wear shoes and a shirt.

Walk and climb around other climbers, never above or below them.

Only climb as high as you are comfortable going up and falling down.

Topping out is only allowed on top-out structures. Please down climb from top-out structures.

Stay off of railings, beams, trusses etc.

All belongings, including food and drink, are not permitted on the mats.

Climbing while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is not permitted.

Keep our community safe: please report any injuries, disruptive behavior or problems with the walls to a staff member.

Everyone must wear climbing shoes while climbing.

YOUTH RULES

In addition to the above rules we ask that youth are particularly mindful of the following:

No jumping off structures. Please downclimb.

No running, rough-housing, horseplay or acrobatics (flips, cartwheels, handstands, etc.).

Indoor voices. No yelling.

Fitness equipment may only be used by people 14 and over. No playing allowed on fitness equipment.

Never stand, sit, or walk in an area where another climber could fall. Always look at the climbing walls around you, especially when walking through the gym, to see where climbers are on the walls.

Never climb above, below, or near another climber. Please be considerate.

Any youth (13 and younger) must be actively supervised by the adult who is responsible for them during their visit to the gym.

Direct supervision is required for youth during the entirety of their visit. Please maintain a 3:1 ratio of child to supervising adult. If more than 5 kids come in your group, you must maintain a 2:1 ratio of child to supervising adult.

Everyone must wear climbing shoes while climbing (barefoot climbing isn’t allowed). The only exception is children whose feet are too small to comfortably or safely use our rental shoes. In this case, they can use close toed shoes.
