General information:
Come to the wall now!  There are over 50 individually rated routes.  If you are the first to climb it...you can name it whatever you want (within reason, of course).

Read about the rating system used, or check our example guidebook for named routes.   
Although most of the belaying at the wall is "top-roped", if you get certified by Eric you can try one of four different "lead route" areas.  Contact Eric Redinger if you have any questions. 

Family Climb
Join us at the Student Recreation Center - North (750 New Madrid) for Family Climb on the indoor climbing wall.  Bring the whole family or just yourself!  We have over 55 established climbing routes that vary widely in difficulty.  If you climb an un-named route, you get to tame it!  Climbing wall staff will be on hand to assist during your climb and belay.  No climbing experience necessary!  Harnesses are available for all age groups, including specially designed children’s harnesses.

*Guest fees ($5) may be applicable.  Liability waivers must be signed prior to climbing.
