Climbing Wall

Ages 6 and Older
Why climb? Climbing challenges you both mentally and physically and gives you an excellent way to learn life skills and improve self-esteem. Climbing offers a total body workout - toning and strengthening as well as providing a cardiovascular workout. Strength is actually secondary to balance, flexibility, and technique. Our state-of-the-art climbing center offers a variety of walls for beginners to the more advanced climber. For information on the climbing wall, contact Courts Plus at (630) 833-5064.

Orientation

Our trained staff instructs participants on how to secure the harness, proper rope management, belaying techniques and use of climbing commands. Participants are encouraged to climb after the practical safety test before they are allowed to climb on their own. Participants are required to bring and wear their own gym shoes.

Safety Test -
Climbers must pass the safety test to receive a belay certification card. Climbers are only allowed to take the safety test if they have gone through an orientation or are experienced climbers. The safety test includes everything covered in the orientation.

Youth -
The climbing wall is open to anyone, ages six years and older. Children under the age of 11 may not belay and children between the ages of 11-16 are allowed to belay after going through a youth climbing class. Children, ages 11 to 13-year olds must have an adult supervisor within the Courts Plus facility unless the child is participating in a class.
