What you need to know about HAPIK
What are the weight and age limits for climbing?
- There is no minimum age, but climbers must weigh between 35lbs and 309lbs.
- Each wall is specifically designed to foster independance and play.
- Adults are also encouraged to climb with their friends, family, or colleagues!
Is it safe for children?
- Absolutely. Safety is our priority, regardless of age.
- We use an automatic self-belay system. The climber clips it onto their harness to access the wall. This allows for confident climbing and a safe jump at the top.
- The self-belay system holds you in place to ensure a smooth descent.
- Our team members explain how the equipment works during a mandatory safety briefing before entering the arena and are on hand to ensure proper useage throughout the session.
- You can let your child climb with peace of mind. Everything is designed to ensure they feel confident.
Do I need to bring any specific equipment?
- No, everything is provided by us for the session.
- We'll equip you with a harness; that's all you need at HAPIK.
- Note: Come in comfortable clothing with your hair tied back and any and all jewelry and accessories stowed.
- No climbing shoes or open-toed shoes.
Is the activity suitable for beginners?
- Yes, it's even ideal for a first-time climber.
- Our walls are progressive: from the "first climb zone" with wide, accessible holds to more technical routes.
- Our team members are on hand to brief you and help you unblock if needed.
- At Hapik, no experience is required. Just the drive to climb and have a good time.
