About Us
Upper Limits is the premier rock climbing gym in St. Louis and offers something for everyone! Men, women, and kids of all ages enjoy rock climbing and are motivated by new challenges every day. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to be in top physical condition or have a lot of upper body strength to climb. Rock climbing builds the body’s strength over time and is ideal for enhancing muscle tone and increasing flexibility. Besides being a great full-body workout, climbing is also a fun and exciting recreational activity. Come and experience the thrill and exhilaration of a sport that has exploded in popularity! There are two types of climbing that can be done in an indoor environment: bouldering and roped climbing. Bouldering is climbing that is done close to the ground without the use of a rope. The climber doesn’t go as high, and climbers can boulder problems (essentially short mini routes) without a partner. Bouldering is excellent for building strength, power and technique. Top Roping is the most basic form of roped climbing. The top rope system consists of a rope running up to a set of anchors at the top of the wall and then back down to the bottom. The climber is tied into one end of the rope and the belayer is attached to the other. Using a belay device attached to the harness, the belayer can take in slack, “hold” a climber’s fall, and lower the climber back to the ground when they are finished.
