Don't miss out on this chance to try something new at our upcoming community rock-climbing days! We've heard from some folks that they feel like they're not "outdoorsy" enough for climbing, but we want to assure you that we have options for everyone, from total beginners to those looking for a bit more of a challenge.

And don't worry if you've never climbed before! We'll provide all the gear you need, and our awesome guides (who are SPI-certified, by the way) will be right there with you every step of the way. You don't need to bring a partner either - we'll belay you ourselves so you can focus on having fun and enjoying the climb.

If you’ve never been to the bluff, don’t fret—we’ll have guided hikes to the top twice throughout the morning, at 10 and 11:30. If you're new to hiking or feeling nervous, this is a wonderful chance to meet some friendly faces and enjoy a leisurely hike to the top. Our volunteer guide will provide some interesting tidbits about the environment and answer any questions you might have.

*This program is funded by the Carl & Verna Schmidt Foundation.

Never been to Sugarloaf? Join us for a guided hike to the top!

We will be offering two guided hikes to the top of Sugarloaf during our community rock climbing days. The first hike will begin at 10:00 am and the second hike will begin at 11:30 am. For folks who have never been on this trail and want some support while hiking up into the bluffs, this is a perfect way to get familiar with the trail with the support of experienced, welcoming volunteers and staff. Meet our staff and volunteers at 10 am or 11:30 am at the trailhead, located just beyond the Edina Realty building.

If you can’t make it in June, checkout our other two community climbing days in July and August!
