Special Events and Outreach

Special Events for Outside of Whitman Groups
We offer up to 2 hour long events for outside groups and organizations. Can potentially be longer if people continue to climb during operating hours. There will be 1-2 (more depending on the size) staff members dedicated to your event. Events can be held during gym hours or outside of them for more private events. Scheduling outside of gym hours is recommended for large groups, otherwise we can work with you to find a time when the gym is less crowded.
Pricing:
- $200 for 4-10 people, $20 for each additional person past 10
- Staff and rental equipment included
Please have your event participants fill out both the Liability Waiver and Safety Policies forms before arrival to speed up the process.
