Climbing Experience
Indoor rock climbing is one of the fastest growing sports worldwide. Rock climbing is an incredible experience that develops a stronger mind and body. Climbing can help with overcoming fear, building strength, and developing agility while allowing friendships to be built while spending time with other climbers. There are a lot of reasons to get involved, but to truly understand just how fun climbing can be, you must try it out yourself. So, whether you’re a beginner or and expert, grab a friend, and come on in.
Programs and Competitions
The Rock offers many different programs throughout the semester including Alta Project, Women Rock, and Belay and Lead clinics that will help teach you more advanced skills in climbing, and allow you to practice those skills at The Rock.
Competitions are held at The Rock once a month. Everyone is encouraged to compete regardless of skill level. For each competition, you could win a variety of prizes; such as jackets, gift cards, climbing gear, stickers, and much more.

The Tower is our 32 ft. - 35 ft. tall free-standing climbing wall and includes a climbable arch and an overhang structure.

What is Bouldering?
Bouldering is a type of rock climbing that is done on short climbing walls or outdoors on boulders. The main difference between bouldering and rock climbing is that bouldering does not require the use of ropes or extra equipment. The Rock’s bouldering wall is surrounded by a padded flooring system to provide a softer landing zone. Bouldering can provide you with the opportunity to develop strength and climbing techniques while improving your skills for roped climbing.
- Always scope out the route/problem before climbing it because it can prevent you from losing your flash or from getting hurt, whichever is more important to you.
- Climb with a buddy, one is more likely to benefit from someone else being there whether it is getting help along the way, or just as a spotter/ belayer.
