This bouldering wall goes to a slide that was used quite a bit during the Rifle Climbing Center's grand opening on Saturday by children who were motivated to climb with the reward of saying "Weee" while getting to the ground.

For kids and adults alike, the new Rifle Climbing Center opened over the weekend. Jason Marshall and Karissa Dunbar worked hard to make this center welcoming for new and experienced climbers, for people looking to exhaust their kids before going home or to expend energy by heaving themselves up walls by doing different routes up. Go visit to try out the workout equipment and the climbing walls with friends or solo – fun is waiting, no matter what.

The tilted bouldering wall was no problem for this climber at the Rifle Climbing Center’s grand opening on Saturday.
