Take a Whipper

Whether you’re new, experienced, a lead climber or getting back into it, we have something for you. We will belay each other, help find routes and build up strength so we can eventually head outdoors!

NOTE: First time at Texas Rock Gym? Fill out the waiver online to save time.  Then get there a little early as you will need to complete their belay test.

Want to learn how to belay? HTXoutdoors members will get a private instructor to teach you how to belay for $10. (Required your first time.)  Skip the group class that is open to anyone and climb with HTXoutdoors!

Learn how to rock climb before you get to the rock.  Download Rock Climbing: Before the Rock to learn what you need to know before you get to the climbing gym.  We will teach you when you get there; this guide will give you a head start.

How to find the group  

Look for Stephanie with the blue and orange sign near the front or bouldering area around 6:30.  After 6:30, the group will be climbing so look around the gym.
