F.A.Q.

What is the procedure for an experienced climber to come and climb at TCA?

You need to demonstrate your safety skills and pass a belay test.

Can I show my friend how to belay?

No, only TCA instructors may teach within the facility.

How can my kids climb at the TCA?

The Kids Training Courses are available for kids ages 5 – 16 and are available from 4 classes to 16 classes starting from $35/climber.

"Kids Love to Climb" program is offered every Saturday from 10-1pm and it is a great way to start for children ages 6-12 starting from $20/hour.

Finally, parents can take the Belay Lesson or Autobelay lesson. Parents/Guardians are required to supervise their kids at all times, and climb too if they wish!

The Beginner's Lesson is also available for children 13 years or older.

Only climbers aged 13 and up can climb the boulder. We have amazing routes on both top-rope and autobelay for your kids to try if they're not yet old enough!

If I don’t know anybody can I still climb, and how can I find a climbing partner?

The TCA staff will be happy to introduce you to our members. We also have 10 Autobelays with 22 different climbs and you can always warm up and try our different bouldering terrains.
