Is spectating allowed at Brunswick Rocks Gym?
Spectators are welcome inside the Brunswick Rocks Gym, but must sign in at the front desk, complete a safety waiver, and stay clear of the mats as they are potential fall zones while visiting. The concrete walkways are designed for all foot traffic + we also have a few handcrafted oak benches to post up on if waiting for a route to open or just watching. We ask all guests -- climbers + spectators alike -- to avoid walking under active climbers.
Again, please remember that parental supervision is required for children under 16 years old at all times. It is important to keep children off the mats while not actively climbing.
Are food/drink allowed inside the gym?
We ask guests to keep food + beverages off the climbing mats and only near the entrance of the gym or stored away in our Day Use Lockers.
