Earth Treks, Rockville, MD

Located in a massive building in Rockville, Earth Treks is the premier climbing facility in the Maryland area. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, and they all seem to have a strong passion for climbing. Upon arrival (and after waivers were completed), they showed us how to use the harnesses, and gave a run down on how to be safe. They provided the staff to belay, and were encouraging as kids made their way up the wall. They had a wonderful balance of being sensitive and validating of their fears, while kindly giving them the guidance that they needed to push themselves out of their comfort zone.

This facility offers a wide array of classes so that climbers can learn more of the technical skills, but it also has certain hours that are open sessions, where you can pay per climb. Additionally, they are available for large groups such as for birthday parties, corporate events, etc… There are many large walls with which to choose, so that every level of climber from beginner to advanced can find a place to climb comfortably and confidently. There are also several areas that allow climbers to try their hand at bouldering.  All in all, this was a fun activity that everyone really enjoyed.
