Once You Get Certified, You Can Climb During All Apex Operating Hours

All climbers must fill out a Rock Wall Waiver each calendar year (waivers expire on Dec. 31). Climbers under 18 must have a legal guardian sign their waiver. Belay certification is good for one year and re-certification is free if done before expiration and can be done during open climbing hours.
