The climbing wall officially opened in 2005 and has been the home for the climbing community ever since. We have four ropes: two on a vertical face, and two on a substantial overhang. During open hours, we have 2-3 staff members on hand to work with participants of every ability level. Shoes, chalk, and harnesses are provided.
