About

On Edge is a rock climbing facility located in Montrose, Colorado, situated at an elevation of 5,994 feet. The site is categorized as difficult and offers parking for visitors who bring pets. Evidence indicates that On Edge operates as an indoor climbing center featuring a 27-foot tall wall painted to resemble the Black Canyon. The facility provides 12 anchors for top roping and four auto belay systems, accommodating routes from beginner to advanced levels. Three cracks of varying sizes are integrated into the wall design. The facility includes a dedicated Kid Zone with colorful challenges for younger climbers and offers summer camp programs focused on developing balance, strength, and coordination. Climbers must be at least three years old and weigh a minimum of 40 pounds to use the equipment, with auto belays supporting up to 300 pounds. Certified climbers may access the wall during standard business hours, while non-certified climbers require staffed supervision. Staffed hours typically run from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with specific variations for Wednesday and Saturday. A Women On the Wall session is available on Friday evenings from 6:15 pm to 8:00 pm. On Sundays, the facility operates without staff, allowing only certified climbers to use the wall independently.
