CNCC outdoor leadership program coordinator John Whipple said participants of all ages and skill levels have something to gain by attending — aside from enjoying stellar sunset views from the gym’s vantage point.
“If you are an experienced climber and are looking for a place to train and challenge yourself, then the Sunset Club is for you,” Whipple said. “Even if you are a beginner or have never climbed before, our trained staff will ‘show you the ropes’ and teach the basics of climbing through instruction and demonstration.”
The Sunset Climbing Club isn’t just for individuals. Kids of all ages can attend climbing hours although children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult and all participants fill out a waiver form to get started. Families are welcome to attend, too.
It’s a unique opportunity in an area where indoor climbing experiences can transition to outdoor climbs around the region, from desert rocks in Rangely’s backyard to more serious challenges in Colorado National Monument.
To join the Sunset Climbing Club, individuals pay a pass rate of $30 for the season, a family pass (four people or more) is $60 and drop-in climbers pay $5. The gym has some equipment, including shoes and harnesses, available for use.
