News - July 2021
Until further notice, reservations are no longer required!
SANITARY MEASURES
Due to the uncertain nature of the current situation, the procedures listed below can be changed without notice. We focus our efforts on ensuring the health and safety of our staff as well as creating an enjoyable environment for all.
Washing hands
Please wash your hands upon arrival and between each climb, as much as possible. We have installed a sink next to our entrance. The washrooms remain available.
Face and ropes
Many lead climbers have the habit of holding the rope in their mouth. Due to COVID-19 and other sanitary reasons, we must change our habits! Refrain from touching your face as much as possible.
Liquid chalk and chalk balls
Powder chalk is no longer permitted. You must use liquid chalk (available at the front desk).
Update: Chalk balls are now permitted for top rope and lead climbers. We continue to encourage climbers to use liquid chalk as much as possible before you start your climb. For bouldering, we still require liquid chalk!
Mask
Wearing a mask is now required at all time, both for adults and children ages 6 and up. Medical masks are preferred over other types.
Clothes and shoes
We no longer accept visitors to have bare feet or to be shirtless. We please ask to bring indoor shoes to wear in between your climbs.
Symptoms
First and foremost, if you have any symptoms or have been in contact with someone who has any COVID related symptons, please stay home and follow all government-related measures.
If you have tested positive after visiting or have symptoms of COVID, please call or email us so we are able to contact other climbers who may have been present at the time of your visit.
Social distancing
The 2m rule is applied at all times at Vertige. This means upon your arrival, during your climbing and while using our center.
Even if you live at the same address, we still ask you to keep the 2m unless you are an adult accompanying your child ages 14 and under and you must belay them. It is difficult for us to know who lives at the same address so we thank you for your cooperation.
Services offered
All of our services are now available. Our youth courses will begin in September.
Please check back often in case of changes.
Time slots
Time slots are scheduled for 2 hour increments. You may arrive late but are required to leave at the end of your time slot.
Reservations
All climbing sessions must be reserved online before your arrival.
The number of available spots is listed when selecting your time slot, so you can select your time accordingly.
All memberships have been frozen during the close of March 8, 2021.
It is no longer necessary to have your QR code proof of purchase. Simply show your confirmation email upon arrival.
