The Connecticut Rock Gym

Are you new to the vertical world?

We want you to feel comfortable in this new and exciting environment. That's why we have designed several programs and classes to make the newest of climbers comfortable and fully equipped to function independently in the gym. Rock climbing is probably the most rewarding and enjoyable sport you will ever participate in. What makes the activity more enjoyable is understanding safety and being properly trained by qualified instructors. The CT Rock Gym staff is a group of highly qualified and experienced climbers who will guide you through your introduction to the vertical world and provide thorough training that will enable you to enjoy our facility.

If you have never climbed, we invite you to visit The CT Rock Gym and try a climb at no charge! We'll walk you through our facility, explain some basic facts about indoor climbing, fit you in a climbing harness and then one of our certified safety belayers will work with you as you scale our climbing walls. After the climb, we'd like to discuss options and potential next steps. Our most popular program is our "Climb On! Learn to Climb Class." This 90 minute class will introduce you to safety, equipment use, rope management, proper belay technique and climbing technique. Upon completion of our "Climb On!" class, you will receive a FREE two week pass to The CT Rock Gym to practice your new skills!

If you have some experience or its been a while since you last belayed, then we encourage you to sign up for our "Belay Refresher" class. Please call the gym for details and to schedule your class.

The CT Rock Gym offers a variety of classes that will enhance your progress as a climber. Upon completion of "Climb On!" you are welcome to join us on a local, Saturday outdoor climbing trip or you may want to better understand the technical techniques by signing up for one of our intermediate classes or you can participate in one of our "bouldering" clinics" or join our climbing team which is open to ALL skill levels! Whatever you decide, we have a program track that will help you continuously enhance your skills, performance and experience.
