Building Climbers must be at least eight years old to participate. Any climber under the age of 17 must climb with an adult (age 18 years or older) and must not be left alone under any circumstances. For adults who climb at a faster pace, please note that your child may not be left unattended while you climb, so make arrangements accordingly. Due to building regulations and to ensure your safety and that of your child, child-toting is not allowed. The Urban and Climb Your Way options are open to all ages!
