About us
Belay Buddies is a community for anyone in the Reno area who loves climbing or wants to give it a try. Whether you’re brand new and curious, or an experienced climber looking for belay partners, you’ll find a friendly, supportive group here.
We meet at Mesa Rim Reno for indoor climbing about once a month. Safety, encouragement, and good vibes are at the heart of what we do — because the best climbs are shared with friends.
Join us if you want to:
- Meet climbing partners at your level
- Learn from others and share your own beta
- Build friendships on and off the wall
All skill levels are welcome. If you don't have a belay license, no worries--we will be happy to belay you on your first climbs. Just bring your stoke, your belay buddy spirit, and let’s climb together!

The goal is simple: good people, good climbs, and a welcoming place to enjoy both.Never climbed before? We’ll be happy to help you get started and belay you for your first climbs.
