Climbing Wall
About the Climbing Wall
Our 45-foot climbing wall and 12-foot bouldering wall offer a variety of opportunities for all skill levels. Climb the wall during open hours or use the bouldering wall anytime. Advance your skills through clinics, lessons, or workshops.
Routes are reset frequently, so there is always something new to climb!
Never climbed before? All the gear you need can be rented at little to no cost, and our knowledgeable staff is available to help show you the ropes.

Know before you go: Climbing Wall Policies
General Climbing
- Climbing is inherently dangerous; use caution before climbing or belaying.
- Staff reserve the right to remove anyone deemed a risk to themselves, others, or the climbing wall area/equipment.
- Only staff-approved climbing gear may be used.
- Do not climb above or over belay bars, rappel ledge, or the top of the boulder wall.
- Only approved route setters should adjust or change climbing holds.
Roped Climbing
- All users must check in at the climbing wall desk before beginning to climb.
- All users wishing to belay or lead climb must have current skills check-off on file.
- Only approved lead ropes and assisted braking belay devices are permitted.
- Belay devices must be attached with locking carabiners.
- Users must tie in directly to their harness tie-in points using a figure-eight follow- through knot with the appropriate tail length.
- Rope climbing is only allowed while staff are present.
- Climbing lessons-in-progress have priority use of wall areas.
- Headphones are not allowed in the rope climbing area.
Bouldering
- Bouldering is allowed only on the boulder walls, not in the top rope area.
- The “Pipestone” wall in the common area is open any time the facility is open.
- The “City” bouldering wall in the roped climbing area is only open when a staff member is present.
- Always climb down when possible. Avoid jumping from the top.
