Should a person become ill with COVID-19 we could use time slots as a form of contact tracing to alert other gym participants to potential exposure.While we are researching methods to effectively clean our holds, we are currently unable to clean them while they are on the walls. The best method to keep yourself and other climbers safe is to sanitize your hands before and after every climb. We will have hand sanitizer spread throughout both gyms. Please keep your mask on at all times while in Sportrock.  We also highly recommend liquid chalk.We ask that all participants wear a mask in our facilities at all times.
