New Climbers
Joe Rockhead’s has introduced more people to the exciting sport of climbing than any other organization in the country. We pride ourselves on our impeccable safety record and our ability to bring it all to you in a fun, low-pressure atmosphere.
We recommend first-timers reserve a place in a Top Rope 101 class to gain roped belay skills and confidence in your technique. Alternatively, new climbers can drop in to use our bouldering and auto belays after a staff-led safety orientation, although you will be limited to a smaller selection of climbs.
