Sky Gym Aerial Obstacle Course in Skull Canyon: 100+ Elements

Navigate suspended bridges and climbing walls 50 feet up, picking your own challenge level

Sky Gym is an aerial obstacle course in Skull Canyon, CA where you spend 2 hours navigating over 100 suspended elements at heights up to 50 feet, choosing your own route and pace across three difficulty levels. Safety equipment and a trained staff member's orientation are included. Participants must weigh between 45–250 lbs, wear closed-toe shoes, and pass a ground school before starting. Children from age 6 are welcome, with height-based access rules and supervision requirements for those under 60 inches tall.

The experience

Your session runs 2.5 hours total: the first 30 minutes covers check-in, a safety briefing, and gear setup with a trained staff member who teaches you how to use the continuous belay system. Then you have 2 hours on the course itself. The obstacle course holds over 100 elements spanning easy to extreme difficulty, so you're not locked into one path. You pick which challenges suit your comfort level and energy as you move through. Elements include suspended bridges, balance beams, and climbing sections, all anchored with continuous safety systems.

Heights reach over 50 feet off the ground, and the course sits in Skull Canyon with views across the landscape as you work through it. If you want an extra adrenaline hit, you can opt in for the Leap of Faith during your session. All safety equipment is provided, including helmet and harness. Gloves are required and either supplied at check-in or you can bring your own (staff will approve them). You'll need closed-toe shoes (no Crocs, Chacos, flip-flops or slip-ons), and comfortable clothes suited to the weather.

Before you start the course itself, you'll complete Ground School, where staff teach and coach you through the basics. You must pass this before moving onto the full obstacle course. All participants sign a waiver at check-in. For anyone under 18, a parent or legal guardian completes it on their behalf. The course welcomes families and groups, with guides available in English and Spanish.
