Climbing

What is it about climbing? As a child, we delight in scrambling up a tree to see heights and as something to conquer. Although an understandable paradigm shift, a pity, because climbing is a liberating and gratifying skill that is lost to many because of the technicality, all the gear, and the fact that you have to go with experts in order to keep it safe and fun.

"the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes."

HOW TO CLIMB VIRTUALLY ANYTHING (REDROX/INDOOR Climbing)



NOT YOUR ORDINARY WORKOUT. After watching our climbing staff solve “a little boulder issue” on our new climbing wall, we tried it ourselves and were immediately humbled and hooked. Turns out what our staff made look simple was a grueling, awe-inspiring, superhuman crawl across a vertical negative incline…and puts lifting weights to shame. Learning to climb involves every muscle in your body as well as reservoirs of determination and strength you will be surprised to unleash. We are thrilled to report you don't have to be up high to reap the physical benefits of climbing (and we thought you had to hang from a rock like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible II). Our unique computerized climbing wall actually suggests routes and progresses with you as you build up your stamina and repertoire of techniques. You’ll glow with pride and a true sense of accomplishment from figuring out the boulder problems…and only want to come back for more. Oh, and start buying shoulder-baring clothes now…you’ll want to be showing off those pipes in no time flat.

REDROX climbing is located at absolution.

HOW TO SCALE A CLIFF (Outdoor Climbing)

If you think rock climbing is “not your thing” because of, well, the fact that you are climbing up a rock tied into a harness, you’ll be as surprised as we were the first time we sucked it up and tried it. After you get used to the harness, you’ll probably bounce all over the place singing the army “be all that you can be” song because you’ll be so proud of yourself for trying something new and challenging...and for being in the most beautiful of all workout facilities, the great outdoors.

One of the best things about Los Angeles is that right outside of the city, Wilderness and adventure await. There are so many things to see within a few miles of the center of Los Angeles..and you¹ll feel like you are miles away. take advantage of our year-round sunshine and get outside.

we offer four types of outdoor climbing classes...
