Group Events

If your group is looking for a thrilling outing, On The Rocks is the perfect place to visit! We can accommodate any type of group–businesses, schools, church groups, family, friends, clubs, birthday parties, etc. On The Rocks has climbing available for all ages and abilities.

All first-time guests will receive a short orientation on the different types of climbing we offer and will be shown safety tips prior to climbing. Rental gear is included for all climbers joining us as a group!

All guests must have a Waiver filled out prior to participating in the event. Parents/Guardians can fill out waivers here.

All parties are scheduled as 2-hour time slots within our typical business hours. Parties can add additional hours to their scheduled time slot at an additional rate of $40/hour. Parties scheduled for times outside of normal business hours are scheduled hourly at an additional rate of $40/hour.

We require a down payment of $50 at time of booking. Remaining balance must be paid upon arrival. Payment for the remaining balance must be provided in one lump sum.
