Sensory Sundays — Calm, Inclusive Climbing
Sensory Sundays create a quieter, more supportive way to experience indoor rock climbing.
On the fourth Sunday of every month, Vertical Ventures opens the gym exclusively for climbers with sensory sensitivities. During this time, the facility is closed to the public, house music is turned off, and we ask everyone to use quiet voices to help maintain a calm, low-stimulation environment.
Our experienced and compassionate staff are on hand to offer as much—or as little—support as you’d like. Whether it’s your first time climbing or part of a regular routine, Sensory Sunday is designed to make climbing feel accessible, comfortable, and welcoming for climbers of all ages.

What to expect:• Quiet, low-sensory environment• No public crowd during session hours• Supportive, trained staff available throughout• Self-paced climbing and exploration
Staff can help with:• Gym tours and orientation• Getting geared up• Introductory climbing instruction• Belaying on the ropes
Additional accommodations:• Noise-canceling headphones (limited supply)• “Zen Den” quiet room available away from climbing• Coloring books and calm activities available
Details:• Fourth Sunday of every month• 8:00–10:00am• All ages welcome
Pricing:• Members: Free• Guests: $25• Punch Pass Holders: Use punches for admission
Sensory Sundays are about creating space—space to move, try, rest, and participate in a way that feels right for you.
