New to the sport of rock climbing? You've come to the right place! They offer a variety of options for budding climbers:  If you have no previous experience you can drop in anytime to try bouldering and use the auto-belays.
Bouldering is a type of climbing that is done on shorter walls without the use of ropes. The goal is to climb up to 14 feet high to the top of the wall. Thick gymnastics mats are placed below the climber so they have a cushy landing when they jump down.

Autobelays are installed throughout the gym, which allow climbers without rope handling experience to get onto our tall walls! After a quick tutorial by one of our staff, you will be able to climb up as high as you are able, then be gently lowered to the ground by the automatic braking system.

MetroRock is proud to be part of the New England climbing community and we welcome you to our gyms. Whether your goal is to advance a few grades or just enjoy some routes, we've got you covered!

MetroRock Newburyport features terrain for bouldering, auto belays, and top-rope. For training, we have we have fitness equipment, training areas with system walls, hangboards, and campus rungs. We offer training programs, advanced technique classes, and personal training to help you become a better climber.

To get started on our bouldering terrain, first time visitors need to fill out a waiver, grab some gear if you need it, get a quick introduction to the gym, and you’re all set. You'll be climbing within five minutes of your arrival.

Auto Belays require a brief orientation on proper use on your first visit to the gym.

For top-rope climbing, we require a free belay test to prove that your knot tying and belay technique are up to par. The test will be taken using an ATC type belay device, and we require retraced figure eight knots with a fisherman backup. You may use your own grigri or similar device after the test is complete.

See you on the wall!
