Irock Climbing Wall — Local services in Ogden

*DANGEROUS AND OUT OF DATE * CLIMB AT YOUR OWN RISK If I could give negative stars I would. I am an experienced belay/top rope certified climber and was APPALLED at the level of risk apparent at this facility, especially considering this is a beginner level site for FAMILIES. Here are the main things you NEED to know before going here:

-There were no attendants or supervisors on-site during our time at this facility. At all. (While children were on top of the boulders unsupervised trying to jump from one on to the other, 12 ft off the ground) The gates (closures) on their carabiners for the Belay ropes did not close properly and were obviously not serviced for some time. -The "Auto-Lock" Belay devices that they EXCLUSIVELY USE did not lock into place, then would not open fully for release. Again, out of date and EXTREMELY UNSAFE. -Customers were not given any instruction of how to use the devices when we were on-site, kids and adults alike did not have their harnesses secured properly, nor were they using the belay devices safely.

As an experienced climber I was APPALLED at the lack of instruction or supervision. While Belaying my spouse, who had reached the top of the wall (also an experienced climber), my Bleay device failed and I had to SHOUT to get a lacksidasicle TEENAGER to come out of the other room to help release the jammed belay device...which should not take two people to release.

I would rather climb outside without gear 1000ft off the ground than ever visit this facility again.

If you want to go rock climbing and take your family, go to a gym, Momentum Climbing, or The Mine, or any other gym, there are a number of safe and affordable gyms in the area. Trust me, this is not worth the jacked up prices to sign over your literal life on an iPad wavier. You would get a better deal and much safer, more educational experience at an indoor gym where you can actually be certified to know what...

My daughter was there with a group tonight. The people in charge were teenage boys with no shirts on coming back from surfing next door. They put other inexperienced teenagers in charge of belaying. The girl holding the rope for my daughter didn’t know what she was doing and let her fall. This led to my daughter grabbing the rope and trying to stop herself from falling resulting in a rope burn on her hand. Why aren’t gloves required?

Another girl in the group burned both of her hands while descending because she wasn’t given adequate instruction.

I know you could blame it on the kids and you could make excuses all day. Gloves and adequate instruction would go a long way to ensuring safety.

I wasn’t there so I don’t know the exact circumstances but from what I understand and the injuries they received it seems obvious that safety wasn’t the...

Me and my 8yr old had a lot of fun, it was our first time going so if was a little confusing at first. On the website when you sign up it asks if you want the $4 shoe rental, it doesn't say if you have to wear a certain kind of shoe or if it's like bowling where you have to have a bowling shoe. You don't have to rent the shoe, they don't even ask if anyone rented a shoe. After about 10min of my 8yr trying to climb in the shoe she was wearing (because I assumed we had to wear the rentals like bowling, and it was snowing so we weren't in good shoes) I asked about the shoes, which made it a lot easier to climb obviously. I thought the place was bigger, I'm glad they only allowed so many people in, there's always a rope open. All in all we will definitely be back, wearing...
