New To Climbing?

On your first visit, you will need to sign a waiver and learn how to belay your climbing partner! The Climbing Center staff will teach you how to tie the appropriate knots, use a belay device, communicate in climbing language and help your partner climb and descend safely. After you learn everything, you’ll be “Belay Certified”.

If you are a minor, your parents will still need to sign a release. You can download the form and bring it with you. We’ll keep it on file for future climbing dates!

TCC Fundamentals Class

The 2nd and 4th Monday of every month, we offer our Fundamentals Class. We cover how to belay, hold types, body position and bouldering. Spend some time experimenting and learn how to climb the wall! 6:00pm – 8:00pm Please call to reserve your space.

History of the Climbing Center

The Climbing Center was formed in 1997, the first in the area and one of the few in the south at that time. Shortly thereafter, the High School Climbing League was formed, the first in the nation! At the time, climbing was not a “letter sport” so it operated as a club with support from a sponsor. Climbing programs in our area have really grown! Today 15 – 20 high schools are involved with over 250 participants! The “climbing comps” for high school begin in the fall with a weekly practice that culminates with a “final comp” in the spring. Many of these young climbers have gone on to become excellent climbers competing successfully in regional and national climbing competitions.
