    What a facility. Friendly staff gets you up and going if you've never been there before or climbed at all. They have Autobelay as well as Top Rope and Lead. There is also an expansive Bouldering area as well. There is also a gym to workout. Bathrooms also include locker rooms. All necessary paperwork that needs to be completed is available online to complete prior to your trip. If not, they have iPads to fill out your paperwork. There are day passes, memberships, and rental equipment.

    Central Rock Gym Rochester is an outstanding climbing facility. The staff and management are courteous, approachable, and highly knowledgeable, creating a welcoming environment for climbers of all levels. The community is supportive and extremely active, which makes the gym feel both inclusive and motivating. Training and instruction are thorough, with an appropriate and reassuring emphasis on safety. The bouldering, autobelay, top-rope, and lead climbing content is consistently fresh, challenging, and varied, offering a wide range of problems that apply a broad spectrum of climbing techniques. The facility is clean, well organized, and very conveniently located. Yoga classes are well attended, and the quality of instruction is on par with what I would expect in this environment. The only minor limitation is that daytime yoga offerings are somewhat limited, with most classes scheduled in the evening. Overall, Central Rock Gym Rochester delivers a high-quality climbing and training experience and is a great asset to the local climbing community.

Frequently Asked Questions About Central Rock Gym - Rochester

Do I need a Participation Agreement?

Yes, you need a Participation Agreement! Climbing is an inherently dangerous sport. We require a Participation Agreement from every visitor to the gym in order to stay in operation and for insurance purposes. All customers under the age of 18 MUST have a Participation Agreement signed by a parent or legal guardian. Grandparents, siblings, and teachers do not count.

I have never been climbing before, what are my options?

You have a number of options depending on the Central Rock Gym location you choose to visit. Bouldering Only Facility: You can climb on our bouldering walls. Bouldering does not require ropes, instead it focuses on shorter walls (10 – 14 feet tall) with significantly more padding on the ground. Partners are not required for this style of climbing. Check out our First Time Boulderer video for more information. A short bouldering orientation from a CRG staff member is required for this type of climbing. Rope Facility: You can take an intro belay class to learn all the requirements for using the facility. This class typically takes a little over 1 hour and can be registered online. Once completed you’ll have full access to the gym and have skills to allow you to belay anywhere in the country! Many of our rope gym locations have “Staff Belay” which is a program where our staff provide all the assistance to let you climb on ropes without taking classes. Space is limited to 4 climbers per group so pre-registration is recommended. We will pair multiple groups together until we get to the maximum size of 4 participants.
