Hidden Peak Open Climb

Hidden Peak is primarily a bouldering gym. Bouldering is un-roped climbing within a specified height limit, and therefore requires no technical training or harness.  It's a great way to get the "feel" of the sport, and to develop excellent movement skills.  Experienced climbers love to train this way because it's social, develops excellent power, and emphasizes technique over distance.  Don't worry; we have a great soft landing to jump down to!

We pride ourselves on our friendly, communal atmosphere.  Since bouldering is inherently a social form of climbing, whether you are a first timer, or throw down on V10, Hidden Peak is the best place in Chicago Land to meet other climbers and share a great training session.  It's nothing fancy--just good music, excellent boulder problems of all grades (changed frequently usually 100-150 problems up), and a great community.

Hidden Peak also has a few top-ropes that go the full 20 feet, and a basic rope skills and movement course for those wanting a more technical introduction to the sport (by appointment).  This class is a great introduction to the skills and techniques necessary for climbing in a taller, rope-focused gym, or toward moving into the outdoors.
