Rock Spot Climbing members are afforded three (3) discounted passes every calendar month they may share with friends or family to provide a full day of climbing with gear rental included at a rate specific to the location the pass is being used. These climbers MUST be climbing with the member, which means these climbers must check in with the member present at the front desk at the time of check-in. This discounted rate cannot be combined with other offers and passes do NOT carry over into future months. If discounted passes are NOT used by the end of the calendar month, they expire.

Any customer purchasing an Electronic Billing Membership (EBM) sold on the 20th of the month until the end of the month will be required to pay for the 1 full month as well as the prorated dues for the remainder of the current billing period.

Valid, single-visit passes can be used at any Rock Spot Climbing facility in exchange for a day of climbing with gear rental included. They never expire, but since they are physical cards, we cannot account for them if they are lost or stolen so it is the responsibility of the person purchasing them to keep them safe.

Finally, single-visit cards from a 5 pack cannot be used on the date of purchase or in place of payment for any good or service, including but not limited to group events.

Students participating in the Feinstein Junior Scholars Program may present their card at the front desk of ANY Rock Spot Climbing facility to receive a complimentary day pass with gear rental for themself once per school year. Upon use, the offer will be removed from their card to signify it has been used. This program CANNOT be combined with other offers and in the spirit of the program, may only be used by a family for a day of climbing and may not be used by any organization for a group event. To clarify, the program may not be used as payment for personal group events like birthday parties, scout climbs, merit badge programs, team building events, homeschool, youth programs, camps, summer adventure programs or any outdoor guiding excursions.
