Climbing Wall

Experience the thrill of rock climbing on our 24-foot climbing wall, a focal point of the Wellness Center.  A wide range of climbs from beginner to advanced are possible. Climbers of all skill levels can challenge themselves, hone their skills, and keep in shape. 

The wall is supervised during all climbing hours, but the attendant may not be able to belay depending upon wall activity usage.

Certified staff will belay all participants however members have the option of completing a belay certification test administered by Wellness Center climbing wall staff. 

Upon successful completion, members will become belay certified and eligible to belay climbing partners under the supervision of climbing wall staff. 

Equipment

A variety of harness sizes, carabiners, climbing shoes, and belay devices are available for all members to use. Please note that only closed toe athletic shoes and climbing shoes are permitted on the wall.

All equipment must be returned to climbing wall staff the same day upon completion of your climb(s).

 

 

Over 2,500 people have scaled our 24 –foot rock wall accounting for 60,000 feet climbed - that’s comparable to climbing Mt. Everest two times!
