Spirit of Math Rock Climbing Wall

Soar to new heights by taking a climb up our indoor climbing wall! Located at the Aurora Family Leisure Complex, the Rock Wall features a 25 foot wall with 5 different courses. Staff will assist participants with safety gear and get your feet off the ground by strapping you into one of the auto-belay systems. Once you're ready to come down, just lean back and enjoy the ride as the auto-belays lower you to the ground. Climbers can navigate any of the five courses, all varying in difficulty. All skill levels welcome - from first time to experienced climbers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Admissions & Waivers
I want to climb the Rock Wall – what do I need to do?
Visit the Customer Service Desk at the A.F.L.C. or fill out the online webform below to complete a Rock Wall Permission/Waiver Form. When visiting the A.F.L.C. Customer Service Desk, staff will confirm if participants have completed a Rock Climbing Permission/Waiver Form and ask them to pay the regular drop-in rate. If participants are under 18 years of age, the form requires the signatures of a valid parent/guardian. Once the form has been completely filled out and checked by staff, participants will receive a wristband verifying a valid waiver and payment. Wristbands must be worn and be visible for the duration of the program. Participants can then proceed to the wall to show their wristband and Program Staff will assist them in using the Rock Climbing wall.

How many times do I need to fill out a waiver?
Participants are required to fill out a waiver once every 365 days. When a participants' renewal deadline is approaching, Customer Service staff will alert them and ask the participant to complete a new waiver before using the Rock Wall.

I don't have an e-PLAY account – can I still climb the Rock Wall?
Staff will use the information participants provide on the Permission/Waiver form to create a new e-PLAY account.

I don't want an e-PLAY account – can I still climb the Rock Wall?
Permission/Waiver forms are tracked through e-PLAY accounts in order to more efficiently track the annual renewal process for customers. If participants do not wish to have an e-PLAY account, they will be required to complete a new waiver each time they climb the wall.

Is there a cost to fill out the Rock Climbing waiver?
There is no cost to complete or renew a Rock Climbing Permission/Waiver form. The only cost associated with the Rock Wall is the drop-in fee of $3.00 per visit.

Why do I (and my parents/guardians, if necessary) have to sign both sides of the waiver?
The first page of the form is a permission form and the second side is the waiver. Both pages are necessary for individuals to climb the wall.

What is a valid parent/guardian? Can an 18 year old fill out the form for their sibling? Can a friend's parent or grandparent fill out the form?
A valid parent/guardian is the person or people who have legal custody or guardianship of an individual.
Permission/Waiver Form

All Rock Climbing participants are required to complete a Permission/Waiver form. A new form is required annually (every 365 days), and will be tracked through each participant's e-PLAY account. Please complete the online Rock Climbing - Permission/Waiver Form. Hard copies will be available at the A.F.L.C. Customer Service Desk if required.
