Exploring Other Climbing Options at Momentum (and Where to Find Them)
While Momentum Silver Street is dedicated to bouldering, Momentum also offers other exciting forms of indoor climbing at different locations:
Top Roping: Climbing Higher with Ropes
For those looking to climb higher, Top Roping is available at Momentum’s rope climbing gyms like Millcreek, Sandy, and Katy. Top roping involves climbing walls up to 50 feet tall with a rope already secured at the top. A certified belayer manages the rope from below, ensuring your safety as you ascend. Top roping requires a partner and belay certification, which can be obtained through classes offered at these locations.
Lead Climbing: For the Advanced Climber
Lead Climbing, also available at Momentum’s rope climbing gyms, is an advanced form of rope climbing. Unlike top roping, lead climbers clip the rope into protection points as they climb, requiring a higher level of skill and experience. Lead certification is necessary before participating in lead climbing at Momentum gyms, and classes are available for those who meet the prerequisites.
