Check-in is from 1-3 to get the discount, but families are welcome to
stay as long as they like after they check in.
The cost will be $10, which will include a day pass for the child, a
harness for the child and a harness for the supervising adult. This
is $9 off the regular price, for a savings of almost 50%.
Adults and older teens may also climb for the $10 fee as long as they
are a member of a homeschooling family. There is no charge if you
only plan to belay.
There is a one time $5 fee if you need the gri-gri lesson, a quick 15
minute lesson on how to safely use the ropes in the gym. Supervising
adults must be safety certified. Either you can pass the belay test
if you already know how (no charge) or you can take the gri-gri
lesson (takes about 15 minutes) for a one time $5 fee. A climber must
be 12 or older to take the gri-gri lesson.
A parent can belay for more than one child, they just take turns.
With really young children this can be a problem, as the parent's
full attention needs to be on the child who is climbing. If the other
non-climbing child needs supervision as well, there will be safety
issues.
A person could bring another person's child, but be sure the parent
has filled out a waiver and sent it along. The waiver is available on
the Inner Peaks website.

find and not visible from Monroe Rd, so be sure you know where it is
before you set out.
