Itinerary:

Vertically Inclined Rock Gym is a great indoor rock gym with plenty of space to climb on. They are equipped with top rope systems, lead climb areas and pulleys. They also offer lots of bouldering space for those not ready for ropes.

There is no predetermined structure to this activity - this is simply an event primarily aimed at allowing people a chance to climb. No previous experience is necessary for bouldering. You DO however need to have completed a belay check if you wish to use the top rope system on your own at VIRG. If you do not have a belay check but are interested in trying out top rope climbing, you may be able to take the Climbing Adventure drop-in program ($29 plus GST). If you do intend to take the Climbing Adventure, I would highly recommend calling ahead to VIRG to confirm availability. Please also note that the Climbing Adventure program does not give you sufficient instruction to take your belay check, which would be required for use of the top-rope system without staff assistance at VIRG.

Prices for this event vary significantly depending on what you would like to do and what equipment you need to rent. Please see VIRG's rate schedule to see what you will need. They also offer multi-use punch passes if you plan to go regularly. Please note: I not making pre-arrangements with VIRG. If you do not have a membership with VIRG, I would highly recommend calling ahead to confirm that they are not too booked up.

Required Items to Bring:
$$ for entry to VIRG
$$ for climbing equipment rental, if needed
