About Us

We offer 18,000 square feet of climbing surface, a full-sized indoor high and low ropes course, and have sophisticated team creation seminars through SHARED ADVENTURES. Since 1995, we have offered team creation and recreation to groups throughout the East Coast, including the University of Virginia in the summer of 2005 at a retreat in the Shenandoah Mountains.
