Bouldering Orientation Workshop

Users must complete a 45-minute orientation in order to boulder.  This class, which is required for all users, covers the rules and safety guidelines for using the wall, types of holds, the route rating system, and what good bouldering sense means. This mandatory class costs $10 and will allow you to continue to use the wall free of charge. Register online, by phone (924-3791 w/ credit card) or in person at the business office located in the Aquatic & Fitness Center. Workshops are held Mondays at 5:00 PM and Wednesdays at 8:15 PM.

Who may use the Wall

Open Rec Hours: You must be an IM-REC member/student, at least 18 years of age, and have taken the Bouldering Orientation workshop (listed above). Those with prior climbing experience will still need to take the orientation workshop to become familiar with rules, safety guidelines, etc.

 

Bouldering Programs: Our bouldering wall programs are also open to non-members. Additionally, the Family Bouldering Nights are open to folks ages 4 and up as long as a parent/guardian is registered as well.


We also have several outdoor rock climbing trips offered as well.
