Health Measures
Pro-active Risk Management
It's what we do that counts.
The Stone Age Rock Gym is OPEN with revised visitation policies. We have installed technology and are instituting the following hygiene measures to limit germ transmission within our facility.
Here is what we are doing:
- We have added 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 use a handheld UV-C wand to sterilize our keyboards, electronics and touch screen computers; in addition to chemical cleaning agents.
- Our customers will continue to find fresh routes and boulder problems as they will be changed more frequently.
- We have installed additional hand sanitizer stations, and wipes.
- We have made common use items as "touch-less" as possible by integrating motion sensor lights, sinks, waste baskets, and dispensers.
We ask that 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.
- Frequently use hand sanitizer OR sanitizing alcohol-chalk.
- Wash hands before eating or touching your face.
- Wash your hands after using the Bathroom!
- DO NOT wear climbing shoes into the bathroom.
- Use the sani-wipe station outside the bathroom (feet).
- AVOID shaking hands. Try the elbow bump or just waive.
- All visitors are required to wear a mask or cloth face covering when in the facility. You may remove the mask periodically if you have difficulty breathing, when drinking water, or when eating food.
- Please try to use the VAMPIRE method (inner elbow) when coughing or sneezing.
Do NOT cough/sneeze into your hands or into the air. - Consider taking a break from climbing if you are feeling under the weather. If you become ill within 9 days AFTER you climb with us PLEASE call us so that we can take appropriate action to protect others. What happens next? Your information is always confidential, however we will reach out to all visitors for three days after your attendance to alert them of possible exposure. Studies show that CoViD-19 is not viable/contagious after three days outside the human body.
- We are actively screening customers who show signs of illness.
- Children may have one parent/guardian supervising, avoid crowding.
- Roped climbers should allow an empty top rope station between climbers.
- Boulder climbers should allow room for the climber and dismount without contact with others. Boulder climbers, as always, should mind their landings.
- Please make way for the cleaning staff.
Our primary focus has always been and continues to be the well being of our customers.
We look forward to your next visit!
