This year, we are going to visit Vertical Endeavors in Warrenville, IL, as our winter outing. The date is Sunday, February 16, from 3 to 5 pm.

Located less than 30 miles from downtown Chicago, VE is one of the largest rock climbing gyms in the Midwest. It offers 18,000 sq. ft. of climbing. With bouldering areas, auto belays, top ropes, and lead climbing, Vertical Endeavors has something for everyone from first-timers to experienced climbers.

It is $20.00 for each climber. All equipment and instructors are included in the price. Climbers should wear comfortable clothing and gym shoes. Scouts can opt to get climbing shoes but they are an extra charge.Attached is Vertical Endeavor’s waiver form and important info re: procedure.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to have a fully completed waiver form for everyone entering the facility. If one thing is not initialed or completed, Vertical Endeavors will have to hold the child out and call the parents to send a completed form.
