Adventure Awaits...

Due to the recent impact of the coronavirus in our area, visits to public establishments like Summit Ropes, cause concern. Keeping our guests and associates healthy and safe is always top priority at Summit Ropes. We would like to share the steps we are taking to increase the level of cleaning and sanitization that is taking place throughout our facility.

At Summit Ropes, we have always had Touch-Free Restrooms, and multiple Touch-Free hand sanitizer stations located throughout our facility. We have, and always will, require our associates to wash their hands frequently throughout the day and require them to remain at home when they exhibit signs of illness. We have a dedicated associate constantly cleaning and sanitizing all areas of our facility during business hours. Equipment is cleaned after each use and we clean and sanitize all tables, seating and railings throughout the facility, including all major touch point areas of our course. We continue to do our normal two-hour facility cleaning and sanitization after closing.

We know this is a difficult and unprecedented time for our area, rest assured we will continue to take the necessary steps to ensure guest health and safety, while providing families an experience of a lifetime.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY – Summit Ropes is an Indoor Adventure Challenge Course that is open all year round. However, in the highly unlikely event we must close due to inclement weather, such as Snowmageddon, Megalopolitan Blizzard or the Knickerbocker Blizzard (yes, this is a real thing, look it up), customers who have pre-booked their climbing adventure will have the opportunity to re-book their adventure for an alternate date.

Summit Ropes is the creation of owners Amy Stuart and Dan Kasabian. Motivated by their love of climbing and inspired by the outdoors, Amy and Dan modeled this challenge course after Zion National Park. Summit Ropes’ engineering, design, manufacturing and construction was completed by Walltopia, a world leader in climbing design and manufacturing. The Park is built and maintained to the standards of the ACCT (Association of Challenge Course Technology) specifications, among the most stringent ropes challenge course safety standards in the world.
