Birthday Parties & Group Adventure Climbs
Bring your friends to Upper Limits for an exciting climbing adventure. Groups are assisted by an Upper Limits staff member for the duration of climbing activities, and we request the assistance of one adult chaperone for every five climbers. Chaperones are free if they do not climb as they will be actively involved assisting climbers throughout the party. Our two hour party package includes use of the upstairs climbing area, an equipment orientation, harness rental, and use of the seating area for an additional 1/2 hour. Birthday parties include invitations, which can be printed here, and a free t-shirt for the birthday person.

Two week advanced reservation required. 8 person minimum.

$13 per person Mon-Fri / availability starting at 5 p.m.
$15 per person Sat-Sun / availability starting at 10 a.m.

Summer Youth Clinics
Upper Limits climbing clinics are designed to teach kids (7 yrs. and up) about rock climbing. Our staff is dedicated to teaching the basics of climbing--equipment usage, safety, climbing techniques, and the importance of trust and communication. Each of the daily sessions encourages kids to find new ways of approaching climbing through age-appropriate group instruction. Each child will finish our climbing clinic with a sense of self-confidence and accomplishment. You can print a registration form here.
