Rock climbing is a great sport for individuals of all ages and abilities. OAS offers custom adventures in climbing for those looking for a one on one private lesson experience and hosts a monthly Community Climbing Night at the Bend Rock Gym.  OAS climbing programs take place indoors at the Bend Rock Gym or at Smith Rock State Park, the birthplace of sport-climbing and world-renowned destination located right here in Central Oregon.

OAS has adaptations suited to empower individuals with mobility impairments to successfully experience rock climbing as well as techniques and tips for individuals with a wide range of other needs such as people with visual impairments or youth with cognitive disabilities.

Rates and Fees

2 and 1/2 hour rock climbing lessons are available at the Bend Rock Gym supported by OAS staff and volunteers. If you have never tried rock climbing we recommend first arranging a sport assessment (always free of charge) to meet with OAS staff at our office to ensure we have the right equipment for you and can set it up appropriately.

$45 – 9:30-Noon or 1:30-4:00pm

Custom guided trips to Smith Rock State Park may be available upon special request and arranged with our partners at Timberline Mountain Guides / Smith Rock Climbing School. Please give plenty of advanced notice to request this.
