We’re not a traditional climbing gym. Our automatic belay systems eliminate the need for belay partners or certification. This makes climbing instantly accessible to complete beginners. Our 25+ themed challenges create a visually exciting experience designed specifically for families and children. We welcome climbers as young as 2 years old with specialized toddler programs. Plus, as part of a global network of 380+ facilities, we bring world-class climbing entertainment with proven safety protocols to the Draper area.

Do I need climbing experience or should I take training first?

No climbing experience needed. First-time climbers receive a comprehensive 10-minute safety briefing that covers everything necessary to start climbing safely. Our automatic belay system handles the technical aspects of climbing safety. You simply clip in and climb. There’s no advance training requirement. Our instructors remain in the arena throughout your session to teach techniques, answer questions, and provide guidance. Most beginners feel comfortable after attempting just one or two routes. We focus on making your first visit a great experience.

How long does a climbing session usually take in Draper?

Climbing sessions run for one hour starting on the half-hour. Plan to arrive 15 minutes early for check-in and equipment fitting. The safety briefing takes approximately 10 minutes at the start of your session. This leaves 50 minutes of active climbing time. Total visit duration including check-in typically runs 75-90 minutes. The short drive from Draper makes it easy to schedule a visit without dedicating your entire day. Many people note they get a better workout in one hour here than spending twice that long at a traditional gym.

How do I know if my child is ready for indoor climbing?

If your child can walk independently and follow basic instructions, they’re ready to try climbing. Our Mini Mountaineer sessions welcome children as young as 2 years old. Older children ages 4 and up join regular climbing sessions. Watch for signs your child is ready: they’re curious about physical challenges, they enjoy playground climbing equipment, or they’re looking for new active experiences. Our patient instructors work with all experience levels and help nervous climbers build confidence at their own pace. We teach in ways that make each person feel supported.

Do you offer memberships or do I pay per visit?

We operate on a per-visit basis rather than requiring memberships. Book individual climbing sessions online or contact our front desk to schedule your visit. This flexibility works well for Draper families who want to climb occasionally without committing to monthly fees. You can join us as often as you like by booking sessions when your schedule allows. Many families visit regularly by booking their next session before leaving. This approach lets you control your schedule and budget without membership obligations.

Is Clip 'n Climb safe for young children?

Safety is our top priority. Our BelayMate clipping system and TruBlue Auto Belay use magnetic eddy current braking technology to catch climbers automatically. Every climber receives comprehensive safety training before entering the arena. Instructors supervise the arena throughout each session to ensure proper technique and answer questions. Toddlers ages 2-4 have restricted climbing heights of 3.5 meters maximum and require one-on-one adult supervision. Thousands of families trust Clip ‘n Climb facilities worldwide for safe, supervised climbing experiences. We hope you’ll feel confident knowing your children are in good hands.

What should we wear for climbing?

Wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows full range of movement. Avoid loose pants that might catch on equipment. Closed-toe athletic shoes are required for all climbers. No sandals, flip-flops, or bare feet permitted. Long hair should be tied back. Leave jewelry at home as it can interfere with harnesses and equipment. Our staff provides all necessary climbing equipment including harnesses. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during your hour of activity. Sign a waiver online before your visit to save time at the desk.

Can adults climb too or is this just for children?

Adults absolutely climb alongside children during regular sessions. Many parents discover they enjoy climbing as much as their kids and appreciate the chance to unwind while staying active. Our challenges range from beginner-friendly routes to seriously difficult obstacles that test even experienced climbers. The Stairway to Heaven and Vertical Drop Slide attract adventurous adults looking for an adrenaline rush. Corporate groups use our facility for team building events. Fitness-focused adults appreciate the full-body workout climbing provides. Everyone ages 4 and up shares the same arena during regular sessions. It’s a great climbing gym for all ages.

What if my child gets scared or wants to come down?

Our automatic belay system allows climbers to descend safely at any time. If your child feels scared or wants to stop, they simply let go of the wall. The belay gently lowers them to the ground. There’s absolutely no pressure to reach the top or complete every challenge. Our instructors encourage climbers to try their best while respecting individual comfort levels. Many children start with easier routes to build confidence before attempting more challenging obstacles. The supportive atmosphere helps nervous climbers progress at their own speed. We teach patience and celebrate every achievement, no matter how small.
