The University Recreation Climbing Wall stands 50-feet at its highest point and offers climbers an excellent mental and physical workout. Three types of climbing are offered at the Climbing Wall:

Bouldering: un-roped climbing below the 14-foot designated bouldering height.

Top-Rope Climbing: a format of climbing in which a climber's rope runs through an anchor at the top of the wall, with one end of the rope tied off to the climber and the other controlled by a belayer (who controls the climber's rope toRock Wall avoid him/her from falling) at the base. No experience is required to try Top-Rope Climbing, however if you would like to learn to belay, we offer clinics and certifications.

Lead Climbing: a more advanced form of climbing.
