Try LifeCenter Plus’ most exciting exercise routine — ROCK CLIMBING! Even if you’ve never climbed before, our staff will teach you all the basics you’ll need for a challenging, safe, fun workout. For information about the climbing wall, or to schedule a climbing wall rental, call (330) 655-2377, ext. 133.

« THE WALL »
Our wall is 30 feet tall at its highest point. It looks and feels like rock and can accommodate up to four climbers at a time. We offer seven belay anchor systems, two automatic and five manual. There are numerous routes set for both beginning and advanced climbers.

« EQUIPMENT »
Climbers may use their own harness, provided it is approved by the wall staff. All climbers are required to use LCP’s belay devices, carabiners and ropes. You can check out this equipment at the fitness desk.

You can rent rock-climbing shoes at the front desk for $2. Helmets are available for free, or you can bring your own bike helmet. We strongly recommend that climbers 18 and older wear helmets. Helmets are mandatory for climbers 17 and younger.

« ROCK CLIMBING RENTALS »
Schedule a rock climbing party or event for your group, office or organization. They’re great for team building and self-confidence. Call (330) 655-2377, ext. 133, for more information.
