I gave them a call and they were able to get my reservation locked in. They are very accommodating as well, I did not time our trip right, due to not knowing that South Bend was an hr ahead of Chicago. Our reservation was set for 12, and they were able to push it back to 1:30. There is social distancing taking place, but you are not required to wear a face mask. I was extremely bothered by the lack of cleanliness of the bathroom, but didn't let that ruin my experience. We had a great guide named Matthew, he made us laugh showing us the ways. Whenever we got stuck on a course other guides had no problem walking us through it. I think you have to be at least 9 years old to participate.

We can watch those with physical limitations, over come them through the tenacity of clever problem solving skills when climbing mountains. Even Reba McEntire used it as a symbol of overcoming great odds. In 2020, I sought to make this destination I frequented regularly. This was early in the year, before everything shut down and mountains were too dangerous again. However, I'll always have the good times forged climbing multicolored stones. This has been a place of enlightenment, of humbling, and a rebirth of capabilities. This enormous location, is an endless playground. There are all the challenges that excite nearly every kind of climber. Nearly any age can participate. Then the cherry on top, of a mountain of cream, is that the trainers/leaders are eager to encourage excitement in first time climbers. That is what separates this location from others, the kindness and willingness to teach others to be a good belay. It's clear that they want to spread the excitement over such a transformative hobby. It was so affective, I married the last person I took there on our first official date. It was a Covid wedding in 2021, but that only added to the excitement of climbing this mountain, we call marriage. Thank you for this location and its people.

The staff members (and fellow climbers) I've met are uniformly helpful and supportive.

Yesterday was my birthday! My husband wanted to surprise me after my original plans fell apart. We…read morediscovered this place years ago accidentally, but didn't have a chance to visit and I'm glad we did this time. I will say I do have a fear of heights. When I first saw this park, I thought it was easier than it actually is. You sign up for a 3 hour session that includes safety briefing and practice time on some very beginner elements. Since there were 2 of us, we got put with a larger group. I was very apprehensive about this at first, because I thought that would mean we had to now all stick together. It wasn't the case though, as we were able to choose different routes. Sometimes we did end up together, which turned out great because we all were able to encourage each other through the course. I enjoyed the safety briefing and practice time. It took me a while to figure out how to attach the click-its to the cables and move them around. The staff was great at making sure our harnesses were working properly and what to do if you get stuck. We tried a green level course first. This was the most mentally challenging for me because some of the elements are floating and it can be tricky navigating your safety line and the other pieces. My fear of heights started becoming an issue on this course. You often forget you're securely strapped to the cables while you're trying to use your entire body to move about. You're allowed to move through at your own pace though, and the staff was super helpful in giving tips to get past some difficult areas. I didn't feel like I was holding up other people because we all were facing some fears! We tried a blue course next that was called River Run. The staff described it as mostly zip lines, with a few challenging areas. With their advice, I was able to conquer them before the first zip line. I enjoyed the zip lines a lot, but had trouble sticking the landing and would get stuck in the middle. On this particular one, I hit the mat so hard and was sent back to the middle. I tried to monkey my way back across, but was too tired to finish. My husband yelled for staff to help, and it felt like hours on the line but was only about 5 minutes. I had a panic attack and decided I wanted to be done, there were more zip lines and I didn't think I would be able to get across if I got stuck again. The staff member that rescued me did a great job assisting me down from the course. If you're looking to conquer some serious fears and challenge your entire body, give this park a go. It was beautiful to be out in nature in a whole new way.

They have shoe and chalk rental options( but we brought our own. The staff was friendly and gave us a safety debrief and rundown of the space. It's designed super uniquely and has the various walls setup almost in a giant circle and an upstairs section. Their grading scale is based on a range (example: Pink is V0-V2, then blue is V3-V4 - I don't know if that's exactly what they had, but you get the idea), They had some fun route setting, but nothing that super stood out, and a lot of it felt similar. It's a growing community in GR though, so definitely seems like a great addition and very welcomed for local climbers. The space was bright, clean and they offered a hand washing sink along with ample cubbies for storage along every section. I definitely look forward to returning in the future and had fun checking it out.

As for the winter, they offer tubing and other winter activities on a large hill on property.  They also sell warm beverages during this time to warm up between activities.  Five Pines is simply a great outdoor place with numberous fun things to do.  Let the adventuring begin! Ps.  Something cool: in the lodge there are pictures of campers.  I'm up there a few times :)
