FAQ

Brand New To Scrapyard

When is the gym typically the least busy?

It always varies, but typically during the mid-morning to early afternoon the gym is the least busy. Things tend to get exciting in the “after school and work” hours.

Is there any special equipment needed?

Yep and we’ve got it all here. If you don’t have your own climbing shoes or harness, you can rent them at the front desk when you check in.

Can my child have a membership without having a membership myself?

Yes, but if your child is under 13 years old, they cannot be left in the gym unattended and require supervision.

Do you have any day pass discounts during the week?

There is a meetup group that happens for women/non-binary folks on Wednesday nights. If you fit these descriptions, go to the Meetup website and make an account – you’ll be able to sign up for the Wednesday climb and get a discounted day pass.

Do you host birthday parties/group events?

Absolutely! We love to have gatherings and parties here. To see our current rates and check out our pricing page (scroll near the bottom of that pricing page to find the party section). Heads up, group events need to be scheduled at least two weeks in advance.

Do punch card holders get member benefits?

Aside from getting to share as many punches as they like with guests, punch card holders do not get any discounts on merchandise, cannot bring in free first-time guests, and do not have a free guest pass every month.

Questions Members Tend To Have

Can I bring more than one first-time guest at a time to climb for free?

You can always bring more first-timers in, but only one of them will be free. We prefer you bring one guest at a time to be able to focus on orienting them to the space and teaching them more about climbing.

Can I use my first-month free rental member perk for someone else?

Yep! If you already have equipment you can pass that perk onto someone else. Sharing is caring, right?

What are some climbing opportunities for my child/children outside of your regular open hours?

We have a handful of options for you! Check them out on our Youth page.

Do you host birthday parties/group events?

Absolutely! We love to have gatherings and parties here. To see our current rates and check out our pricing page (scroll near the bottom of that pricing page to find the party section). Heads up, group events need to be scheduled at least two weeks in advance.

Gear & Wall Questions

Do I have to wear climbing shoes on the wall?

Yes, yes you do.

How high are your indoor rock climbing walls?

The main bouldering wall in the gym is about 16 ft. tall, and our main top-rope wall is 24 ft. tall.

How often do you reset routes?

We reset a portion of the bouldering wall every Monday, as well as a few top-rope routes, with wall-stripping starting around 1-2 pm.

What types of belay devices do you allow here?

We allow tube style (e.g. Black Diamond ATC) or assisted-braking belay devices (e.g. Petzl GriGri)

Can I self-belay on the top-ropes?

Nope. We do not allow self belaying from the top rope here.

What if I buy my child some shoes and they outgrow them within the first year of having them? Do you have any deals for that?

If you buy shoes from us, you can return them as your kids outgrow them and we’ll put 50% of the original purchase price toward the purchase of your next pair of shoes.
