Climbing at Sandy Momentum
Momentum Indoor Climbing Sandy, 220 10600 South, Sandy, UT, US
Welcome fellow climbers! We will be climbing at the Sandy Momentum location. People of all ages, abilities, and genders are welcome to join us.

If it is your first time you must fill out a waiver before climbing. You can do that online. Here is the link for first time visitor information:

https://momentumclimbing.com/millcreek/first-time/

You must have a UIAA certified harness, carabiner, ATC or other belay device. (Or you can rent them there.) Chalk optional. If you are leading, you should bring a dynamic rope that is in good condition for a potential lead fall. I am top rope only certified and don’t have a rope at this time.

Cost to join us is free, but Momentum is a gym and you do have to pay to get in. Refer to their website for prices. Message me if you have any questions, concerns, or if you need a buddy pass.
