frequently asked questions
What exactly is bouldering?
Good question!
Bouldering is a type of rock climbing that doesn’t require any ropes or harnesses.
The walls are 5m high and you’re protected by thick safety mats in case you fall.
Do you have a minimum age?
Yes, the minimum age to climb at La Roca is 16 – furthermore there is a requirement to have one adult supervising each minor.
If you are under 18 you will need your legal guardian to sign the waiver on your behalf on your first visit.
Our walls are 5m high and because there are no ropes and harnesses, it is more dangerous for children to be falling from that height.
How do i gain 24/7 access?
The 24/7 annex is only accessible to climbers who have been granted a 24/7 access key.
The access key is included in all upfront memberships but can also be purchased for $50 if you have a weekly membership or a 10 pass.
