Safety First: Our Auto Belays in Winter
As soon as temperatures drop below freezing, the frost season begins for us. During this time, we temporarily remove our auto belays for safety reasons. As soon as weather conditions allow, we’ll put them back up for you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding!
We’re looking forward to the 2027 climbing season!
Our climbing courses will start again in spring 2027, as soon as the weather permits. We look forward to welcoming you back to one of our courses in the new season!
Peak 17 has something for everyone!
Discover our wide variety of climbing courses and improve your technique, strength, and safety—whether you’re a beginner or already have climbing experience.
You can find the current courses and dates under Courses and Groups.
We look forward to seeing you!
Autobelay & Toprope
At Peak 17 you can also climb toprope and autobelay in addition to lead climbing. You can see which lines currently have an autobelay or toprope available for you under Autobelays & Toprope.
