Climbing Wall

All levels of climbers are welcome. Many climbers have no prior climbing experience, and our route setting team works closely with our professional staff to ensure high-quality problems for all experience and skill levels.

• No climbing in bare feet - use climbing shoes.
• Liquid chalk only
• Watch for loose or broken holds. Inform a team member when one is found
• No climbing over the top of the wall.
• Do not climb above or below another climber or walk underneath another climber.
• Do not offer climbers unsolicited advice. 
• Review information about our response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Climbing Session Bookings Policies

• You can book up to two (2) sessions per day

• 2 no-show sessions = suspension for 1 week from the wall, 2 more no-shows = 2 weeks, and so on...
• We will hold your session booking for 15-min after the start, after 15-min we reserve the right to book a walk-up climber into that session spot

Climbing Orientation Quiz

• Monday - Friday: 3 - 9 p.m.
• Saturday - Sunday: 4 - 8 p.m.

• When I sign in I do not see the climbing sessions as an option for booking.

  If you have watched the Climbing Orientation video and have taken and scored 10/10 on the Quiz then you have done all you need to do.  The process of reviewing your quiz and giving you the Climbing Orientation Membership is done manually by our team.  We will email you when this is complete and is usually done the same day as your quiz submission.

  If you haven’t watched the Climbing Orientation video and/or taken/passed the quiz please complete those steps. Once you have completed them you will receive an email when your Climbing Orientation Membership has been added and you will be able to see and book your session(s).

• Can I sign up for more than one climbing session or back to back sessions?

  Yes. We would ask that you limit your number of sessions to 2 per day to allow for others to make reservations.

• Can I use the climbing wall if I am a remote-only student?

  No, only students that are already permitted on campus, and following the testing requirements now in place can come to campus.  

• Do I need to have experience climbing to climb or to have fun climbing?

  Absolutely NOT.  Our reroute setting team is hard at work creating fun, challenging problems for students of all abilities and experience.  They are supervisor by the Assistant Director for Outdoor Adventures who has 15+ years experience climbing and route setting.

• What is Outdoor Adventures doing in response to COVID-19?

  Please check out our COVID-19 page for more information.

• Does the climbing wall cost anything to use for students?

  Nope.  The climbing wall is open to all currently enrolled students who are taking classes on campus.  The shoes are also provided at no cost.  We do sell other items like liquid chalk that are sold for a fee.
