FAQ
What's the difference between Bouldering, Top Rope, and Lead Climbing?
Bouldering is climbing up to 15ft (in gym) off the ground without the use of ropes or climbing gear. Pads are provided throughout the bouldering areas and participation in a Safety Orientation is required prior to climbing. This type of climbing is available to climbers of any skill level and does not require a partner.
Top Roping is climbing up to 50ft (in gym) on a rope that is already attached to the top of the wall while being belayed by a certified partner below. This type of climbing is available to climbers of any skill level and requires a partner(s). Belay certification is required prior to climbing. Belay Classes are offered daily, visit a location’s “classes” page for more information or to sign up.
Lead Climbing refers to climbing on our full height walls in areas that do not already have a rope attached at the top. Unlike Top Roping, Lead climbers must bring the rope with them as they progress up the wall. Leading is an advanced form of climbing and not recommended until you have a strong Top Rope climbing foundation. Lead Certification is required prior to leading in our gyms. Lead Classes are offered several times a month at our rope gyms, please review the requirements prior to signing up for this class on a location’s “classes” page.
- Please note:
- Momentum Lehi, SODO, and Silver Street are Bouldering Only gyms.
Momentum Millcreek, Sandy, and Katy offer both Rope Climbing and Bouldering. - We do not allow anyone other than Momentum employees to provide belay instruction inside our gyms.
- Momentum Lehi, SODO, and Silver Street are Bouldering Only gyms.
What does "Belaying" mean?
Belaying is a technique climbers use to create friction on a climbing rope so that a falling climber does not fall very far and can be lowered to the ground at a controlled speed when they are done climbing.
All Momentum locations with top rope climbing offer belay instruction. Class schedules are available on the “Classes” page of each gym.
How old do I have to be to belay / climb?
- Bouldering welcomes all ages.
- Climbers under 12 must have adult supervision at all times.
- Toddlers – with direct supervision – can boulder in our kids specific areas AND climb our kid-friendly top rope routes.
- Top Rope belayers must be 12+ years of age. Climbers can be any age.
- Ropes are provided
- Lead climbers/belayers must be 14+ years of age.
- Lead Climbing requires a 35meter rope, certification, and ability to climb (and fall) on a 5.10 test route. Lead ropes are not provided.
Are there kids classes?
We offer an assortment of Youth Programs that start as early as age 3 and go up to age 18.
Class specifics vary, but are designed with a progression format so there are new skills to learn as you advance in both age and/or ability.
