Lead & Ohm Tests
If you are already trained in Lead climbing and would like to take a test we recommend calling ahead of time to see if there is a staff member available to administer the test. While we try to keep someone on site at all times who can administer a test, there is no guarantee. A $20 deposit is taken before the test and will be returned upon a complete pass of the test. The maximum weight difference for Leaders allowed in the facility is 50 lbs.
We allow the use of the Ohm and Ohmega after a completed test with our staff. The test does not require a deposit at this time. Tester availability is the same as our Lead Test staffing availability. If you have not filled out a new waiver as of January 26th, 2026 you will need to update your waiver for the test.
