Group Climbing Sessions

Jump To:

Booking a climbing session at Petra Cliffs gives your climbers a professional introduction to indoor climbing. This is a great way to gather for challenge and fun, and to create an opportunity to bond over a shared experience. 

We offer Group Pricing for all groups, including corporations, schools, scout troops, religious organizations, or even a bunch of friends. If your group doesn't meet the criteria below, please send us an email or give us a call, and we will do our best to create a program that fits your needs.

We define a "Group" as 10 or more participants. For smaller groups, please refer to Day Pass Pricing or call for a custom quote. We can easily accommodate groups up to thirty, but we do make special arrangements for larger groups, lock-ins, graduation or other types of parties, etc—use your imagination, we’re happy to be flexible and work with you to build the program you want.

A standard group includes:

  • 2 hours of climbing & bouldering
