BETA - The specific sequence or moves needed to complete a route. Psssstttt: We only give beta when asked, no “beta spraying” 😉 History of Beta in the comments!

Beta Dancing - Moving through the motions before getting on the wall. Imagining hand and feet placement, hip directions, angles, what moves first and when.

Pro-Tip: When you wear lots of gear, you make jingle music with your harness 😉 hahaha

This is specifically for MAE Adventure Tower climbing sessions. These time slots are for climbers who do not require an employee belayer. Meaning you are already belay certified through the gym, you have a climbing partner and don’t require staff to belay you during your session. Our other time slots have extra staff on hand to help solo climbers and those who aren’t certified yet.
For now, these time slots are on Fridays. More to come soon. Sign-up through the regular scheduler.

If you have any questions please call us! (402)502-5879

Bouldering : Basically a puzzle, except the puzzle can throw you on the floor.

Photo’d this project for a while and loved the transitions. Tony hit the floor several times and then floated through it at the end. He’s a dynamic climber and fun to watch. Love watching people push themselves and project.

PS. A project is a “difficult for you” climb that you’re slowly piecing together until one magical day when your body finally understands the assignment. 😉

If you didn’t see our T-Rex arms video go take a look! And now combine the arms with the hips!
We want to see a dynamic movement in the direction that your body is moving. In this video we’re going up. Straighten arms out, shoulders strong inside shoulder girdles, and SWOOSH, the hips move.
