AUTO BELAY

Don't have a partner to climb with? New to climbing? Want to get a few laps in for an intense workout? Our new AutoBelay devices are there for you! Just clip in and start climbing.

NEW TO CLIMBING?
Auto belays are perfect for allowing new climbers to get a feel for the movement while reducing the potential anxiety caused by learning to belay. Once a new climber is comfortable with the movement of climbing, they can move on to belay instruction and further courses. Auto belays are a great way to get “hooked”!

SINGLE CLIMBER?
Sometimes you just don’t have a partner for climbing. Conflicting schedules and short lunch hours can get in the way of a quality partner session. Or you might be new to the area. Auto belays provide an option for single climbers!

INTENSE WORKOUT?
The AutoBelay allows for lap climbing and an intense workout. At your own pace you can do lap after lap at multiple grades; start hard then finish easy, or just stay at the top level until you can't hold on anymore!

C'MON CRUSH THIS!

Climbing is all about pushing your limits, facing your fears, and learning about what your body and mind is cabable of. In this short video, professional climber Chris Sharma talks about fears and limits and how climbing through the fear pushes you to discover more about your abilities.
