Climbing Wall Group Rentals

Want to host your next student group gathering, staff development training, or birthday at our climbing facility? The new Climbing Center is a great place to take a group of people looking to have fun, experience something exciting, and learn more about themselves and the group.

University and community groups may rent the climbing wall for a facilitated group program. Group rental gives a group exclusive access to the climbing wall during a designated rental time. Reservations are preferably made at least 14 days in advance.
