Blue and Yellow Tag – Kids Top Rope Climbing and Belay
Blue Tag Level 1:
This tag indicates that a child under the age of 9 has passed a level 1 top rope belay test and can climb on the high walls with adult supervision.
Children with this tag are also allowed to climb on the high walls, but only when belayed by an adult. They will not be allowed to belay until the age of 9.
Bouldering is inherently more dangerous, so only children who are 13 or older will be allowed to climb on our bouldering walls unless supervised by a CityROCK certified climbing coach.
Yellow Tag Level 2:
This tag indicates that a child under the age of 13 has passed a top rope belay test and can belay children their own weight in the Mayhem area.
Children with this tag are also allowed to climb on the high walls, but only when belayed by an adult.
