High Steppe Climbing Center
Designed to inspire everyone from experienced climbers to those just getting started we offer bouldering, auto-belays, and top rope as well as lead climbing. Our route setting team puts up new routes every week, so there is always a new challenge to climb. Explore our fitness and training area, kid zone, and community gathering space.
Bouldering
Check out our 14-foot free-standing boulder. You can climb without a rope, staying near the ground and relying on thick pads to cushion a fall. Each route is labeled based on difficulty from V0 to V9.
Auto-Belay
We have 5 auto-belays stations designed for climbers to reach the top of our 30-foot walls with the safety of a rope, but without the need for a partner. Our staff will provide an orientation to help you get started. These routes are labeled based on difficulty, ranging from 5.6 to 5.12+
Roped Climbing: Top Rope + Lead
Roped climbing requires a partner to belay you. As a safety requirement climbers must be Top Rope or Lead certified. Experienced climbers can take a quick test with our staff to assess their skills. Interested in learning? We offer regularly scheduled classes. Check the calendar for details.
