Health Measures
Pro-active Risk Management
It's what we do that counts.
The Stone Age Rock Gym is temporarily closed. Our exact re-open date is very much dependent on government issued guidelines and mandate. The current best estimate is that we will likely be closed for most, if not all of April. We share your passion for climbing, but the guidelines make sense, and it is a "mandated closure." In the meantime we are installing technology and taking measures to limit germ transmission within our facility.
Here is what we are doing:
- We are adding a commercial grade UV-C air sanitizer to our indoor air-handler. UV-C light effectively kills bacteria, viruses, molds, and yeasts as the air is circulated.
- We are providing a service sanitizing customer phones with a handheld UV-C wand for a small fee to help defray costs of these upgrades. This service is only available to members and climbers. We use this high power (rated at 11,000 mv, UV-C band light) wand to sterilize our keyboards, electronics and touch screen computers.
- We are re-setting all routes and boulder problems. That is, the entire gym.
- Our customers will continue to find fresh routes as they will be changed more frequently.
- We provide cleaning of public access areas twice daily, between groups, and/or more as needed.
- We will re-open with washable keyboard covers in addition to regular sanitation of our touch screens and other surfaces with cleaners and UV-C light.
- We will be installing additional hand sanitizer stations.
We ask all visitors observe the following protocols:
- Please consider completing the all digital Visitor and Participant Agreement in advance or on your cell phone.
- Please wash hands BEFORE and AFTER climbing.
- Wash hands before eating or touching your face.
- Wash your hands after using the Bathroom!
- DO NOT wear climbing shoes in the bathroom.
- AVOID shaking hands. Try the elbow bump.
- Use the VAMPIRE sneeze/cough method, or handkerchief,
NOT on the hands, or un-contained. - Consider taking a break from climbing if you are feeling under the weather.
- We are actively screening customers who show signs of illness.
We thank you for your understanding of our temporary closure. Our primary focus has always been and continues to be the well being of our customers.
We look forward to your next visit!
*Note: all existing memberships are frozen and will restart on the day that we re-open.
