Boise Peak Fitness

Rock climbing is a challenging and rewarding sport that appeals to people of all ages. The invention of indoor rock climbing centers has helped bring the sport from the “extreme” to the “mainstream.” It is now a popular way to have fun, get in shape and build self-esteem. Whether you are trying the sport for the first time, or you are a seasoned veteran looking to hone your skills, Boise Peak Fitness provides a state of the art facility and an experienced staff to help you reach your goals. We have long routes (up to 43′) to build endurance, several training classes to help you improve technique, and routes are changed on a regular basis to provide new challenges. Kids will enjoy the excitement of climbing and benefit from added self-confidence, when they make it to the top. Parents will appreciate their kid’s accomplishments. Rock climbing is an ideal activity for birthday parties and other special occasions. Boise Peak Fitness offers a variety of parties and group events, each one guaranteed to be a memorable and fun experience.

Once you decide you are ready to try indoor rock climbing, you will need to know a few things about the process at Boise Peak Fitness. For every person using our roped routes, they will need a partner on the ground managing the ropes for the climbers safety. This person is called the “belayer.” While you are welcome to climb at Boise Peak Fitness without any instruction, you do need to complete a training class in order to belay in the fitness center. To be eligible to belay in the gym, you must be 13 years of age. If you are already trained to belay, you do not need to take a class. You simply need to pass our belay check. Please ask a staff member if you need a belay check or call us.

We offer belay lessons every day and they take about 30 minutes. Reservations are strongly recommended as our classes do fill up. The cost of the belay lesson is $19 per person. An additional $13 includes unlimited climbing after the lesson ($32 – Startup Package). For parents who are interested in learning to belay for their child, the cost of the class is $10 per non-climbing adult, plus $12 for the child’s day pass and harness rental. Each adult must bring at least one child with them for the class, since the parent will need a “climber” to work with as they learn.

Monday through Friday at 6:00PM and weekends at 2:00PM (it lasts about 30 minutes). Drop-ins are usually okay.

After your belay lesson, the next time you visit us at Boise Peak Fitness, you will need to take a “belay check” with us to demonstrate that you remember the key concepts that were covered in the lesson Belay Policy. Once you have “passed” your belay check, you are considered Belay Certified for the gym and you will be given a belay card to display whenever you are belaying at Boise Peak Fitness.

If your child wants to climb at Boise Peak Fitness, the same procedure applies as explained above. If your child wants to climb in the ropes area, he/she must have a “belayer.” Usually, the belayer is a parent, but can be a sibling or friend as long as they are 13 years of age and trained to belay. Kids and adults can boulder in the gym without a belayer, as no ropes are used in the bouldering area.

VERY IMPORTANT. All climbers MUST sign a Boise Peak Fitness liability waiver before they can participate in any activities at Boise Peak Fitness. Climbers under the age of 18 must a waiver completed by their parent (or legal guardian) WAIVER.
