    This was my first time rock climbing. Jasmine was super friendly and showed us how everything worked. I never knew rock climbing would be so fun completing the different difficulties really made me feel accomplished. Im happy to have found a nice community and a new hobby!

    I’m brand new to climbing and was definitely nervous going in, but Jasmine made everything feel safe and approachable. Even though I was scared, she was incredibly comforting and helped me feel confident step by step. She’s so sweet, explains things clearly, and creates a really supportive environment. I had a great time and would absolutely take another class with her. Because of this great experience, I am planning to get a membership going forward.

    Great experience for all ages and experience levels. Stay is professional, friendly and more importantly patient while being kids friendly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Central Rock Gym - Manhattan

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.
