FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Find answers to our most commonly asked questions here!

What's the Difference Between Bouldering / Top Rope / 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. 

What do I need to bring?

If you have your own climbing gear (shoes, harness, etc) you are welcome to bring them.

  • Some types of climbing equipment are not permitted at Momentum, check with our employee for more information. 

Rental Equipment (shoes, harness, belay device) is available at the Front Desk.

  • Close-toed street shoes are permitted instead of climbing shoes, but climbing shoes will provide a better experience! We do not allow climbing with bare feet or in just socks.
  • Chalk is available for purchase at most gyms.

Lead Climbing Ropes are not provided or available for rent.

  • Minimum 35 meter dynamic rope required for lead climbing.

We also recommend general workout attire: comfortable/flexible/stretchy clothing. 

What if I already know how to belay?

If you are an experienced belayer, you can certify at the front desk by demonstrating your Top Rope belay proficiency without any help or reminders from our staff or your climbing partner. 

  • If you do not pass the certification test, you can sign up for our Learn to Belay class, offered daily. Or you may choose to boulder only.
  • Lead Climb and Belay certification tests are subject to staff availability and may require a fee. Partners are not provided.

What if I have been certified before, but need a refresher?

Climbing is an inherently dangerous sport. Your safety and that of your partner depend on your ability to belay properly. If you are unable or uncertain if you could pass a belay test, we highly encourage you to sign up for our Learn to Belay class. Safety first! This class is free for members and available to customers for a small fee. 

  • We do not allow anyone other than Momentum employees to provide belay instruction inside our gyms. 

Do you provide belay partners?

We will do our best to help you find a partner in the gym, but cannot guarantee anyone will be available to partner with you.  We strongly recommend you coordinate with a partner prior to visiting.

  • Partner boards and online partner group finders are available at most locations, ask our friendly staff for details.
  • Don’t forget! Minimum belay age requirements are 12+ for Top Rope and 14+ for Leading.
