If you are bouldering, then no partner is needed though we recommend a spotter. However, if you are planning on any roped climbing, you will need a partner. Go to the Momentum website and check out “The Connector” a partner finder we have developed to help climbers of similar abilities and interests meet up. Or talk with a staff member and we will help you find a partner.
• Can my kids climb with me?
We have a kids-only climbing area, with walls no higher than 8 feet. If your kids are intimidated by the main area, they'll still have a great experience at Momentum. We also offer Day Care to our climbers, so if your children are too young for the Kids Area, they are in great hands.
• What gear do I need?
You will need a pair of climbing shoes, a chalkbag (with a chalk ball), and a harness. lead climbers will need to bring their own ropes. All of these items but the chalk bags and lead ropes are available for rental at Momentum. Just ask when you are checking in.
• Where can I go climbing outdoors?
Salt Lake is one of the best cities in the world to find premiere rock climbing nearby. Little Cottonwood Canyon, visible from our Eastern Bay Window, is home to some of the best granite climbing in the West, and American Fork Canyon is home to some of the best sport climbing you will find. There are several good guidebooks for climbing in Utah.
