Climbing Wall

Climbing Wall
Experience the thrill of rock climbing on our 40-foot climbing wall, the hub of the Pottruck Health & Fitness Center, where climbers of all skill levels challenge themselves, hone their skills, and keep in shape. Free shoe, harness, and chalk rentals are available.

If you are interested in bringing a group of more than 10 people to the wall, we encourage you inquire about a private wall reservation. Our wall has a finite capacity which may make it difficult to accommodate large groups during regular wall hours.

Open Climbing (Top Rope and Bouldering)

Monday & Wednesday-Friday: 4:30pm - 8:30pm

Tuesday: 5:30pm-8:30pm

**Bouldering is not available outside of these hours**
