INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY – Summit Ropes is an Indoor Adventure Park 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 receive a full refund or rebook 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 course after Zion National Park.

The Park is built and maintained to the standards of the ACCT (Association of Challenge Course Technology) specifications, among the most stringent ropes course safety standards in the world.
