Watch the 2-minute setup
LT Cruxa is a block theme for climbing and bouldering gyms: day passes, memberships, inductions for first-timers, technique classes and a kids’ club. Its look comes from the gym wall itself: route setters mark every climb with a strip of coloured tape and a grade, and in the theme the tape colour always means something. See it live in the demo.
Section patterns (Pro)
| Pattern | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Hero with climbing wall and first visit card | A large headline next to a small wall. Each hold carries a start tape that links to Bouldering, Ropes, Kids or Classes. Next to it, a first visit card (induction, length, what is included, age, price). |
| Bouldering and roped climbing | The two ways to climb side by side, each with a picture, a short text and wall height, grades and what you need. |
| How the first visit works | Four numbered steps: book an induction, learn the basics, climb, come back on your own. |
| Prices | Day pass, 10-visit card and membership under heavy rules. A marker tape sits on the tier that really is the best value. |
| Class timetable with grade tape | The week’s classes, one row per day, each with a tape that shows its level in the same colours as the wall. |
| Grades explained | The V-scale as a tape ladder from V0 at the bottom to V7 at the top, with one line per grade. |
| Kids’ club | A picture, age groups marked with the tape they climb, rules for parents and a booking button. |
| Gear hire | Shoes, harness, chalk, belay device and helmets, one row per item with an icon and a price. |
| About the gym | Picture, the gym’s story and four ticked points. |
| Setters and coaches | Three portraits with each person’s job and a one-line bio. |
| Reviews from climbers and parents | Three sample quotes (use real reviews only). |
| Frequently asked questions | No experience, shoes, the waiver, age limits, what to wear and coming alone. |
| Opening hours and location | Opening hours, address, parking, phone and a map with directions. |
| Contact details | Call, email and visit, each under a hairline. |
| Induction call to action | Deep blue band with the induction booking and phone buttons. |
| Latest articles | Your three newest blog posts. |
Page layouts (Pro)
- Home page: the complete homepage.
- Climb page: bouldering and ropes, the first visit, prices, class timetable, grades, kids’ club, gear hire, FAQ and the call to action.
- About page: the gym’s story, setters and coaches, reviews, how the first visit works and the call to action.
- Contact page: contact details, questions before your first visit, opening hours with map and the call to action.
What the tape colours mean
The magenta marker tape means “start here”: the hero links, the first visit card and the best-value price tier (remove it if that tier is not the best value at your prices). The grade tapes mark levels: V0–V1, V2–V3, V4–V5 and V6–V7. If your wall uses other colours or another grade scale, change the tape colours in the Site Editor styles (or ask your AI assistant with the prompts in the AI kit) so the website matches the wall.

Write only what is true for your gym. Use your own waiver wording and wall rules, and never describe climbing as safe, injury-free or risk-free. Do not add staff qualifications, certifications or first-aid checks you cannot confirm, and publish reviews only from real climbers who agreed to it. Do not show children who can be identified in photos without a parent’s written permission: children seen from behind or at a distance work well.

Colour styles
Chalk (default: chalk white, concrete, rubber black, Volume blue and magenta tape), Lights out (dark, for gyms that open late), Sandstone (warm rock reds with a teal tape) and Alpine (ice blue with an orange tape). Try them in the live demo with the colour dots in the top bar.
Induction bookings
LT Cruxa has no built-in form. Link the “Book your induction” buttons to your booking system, or add your form plugin’s block to the Contact page. Ask only for what you need to arrange the visit: name, the date and time, how many people, and whether anyone is under 18.
