Climbing Wall

The wall features more than 1,200 sq. ft. of climbing surface with dozens of routes including top rope, lead climbing, and bouldering. Routes are regularly updated so each visit offers new challenges. Whether you are new to climbing, training for fitness, or climbing with friends and family, the wall provides a fun and engaging experience.

We offer beginner classes, private lessons, and group instruction led by trained staff to help climbers learn safely and build confidence on the wall.

• Climbing Wall Waiver
• Schedule

Please see the climbing schedule for program times and availability.

Climbers who have passed a belay test and received a Belay Card may utilize top ropes anytime the fitness center is open, provided that no scheduled climbing program is in session.

Personal climbing gear is required for independent climbing. Harnesses and belay devices and carabiners are available only during staffed programs such as classes and Hang Time. Climbing shoes are always available to use at the wall.

Please wash or sanitize your hands before and after climbing to help maintain a clean and safe environment.

Climbing Time Descriptions

OPEN CLIMB
During Open Climb, climbers may use the wall independently within the limits of their current certifications and demonstrated abilities. Climbers participating in rope climbing activities must have a current Belay Card visibly displayed on their harness while belaying. Climbers are responsible for providing and using appropriate equipment required for their activity. All climbing wall rules and safety procedures must always be followed.

Bouldering is allowed during Open Climb. Bouldering is climbing without ropes below the red bouldering line. Bouldering involves inherent fall risks, and use of an attentive spotter is strongly encouraged. Bouldering participants are responsible for assessing landing zones.

HANG TIME
This is a drop-in climbing session where anyone can try the wall even with no experience required. An instructor will be present to belay climbers. Harnesses and climbing shoes are available in limited quantities. See the climbing wall schedule for days and times.

Participants who successfully pass the belay test will be issued a Top Rope Belay Card.

Belay Cards must be visibly displayed on the harness while belaying.

Lead Belay / Climb Tests

Climbers ages 16 and older with prior lead climbing experience may take the Lead Climb and Belay Test to demonstrate proficiency in lead climbing safety procedures, clipping techniques, rope management, lead belaying, and falling procedures.

Lead Climb and Belay Tests require two participants, either:

• Two climbers testing together, or
• One climber testing with a currently Lead Certified belayer / climber.

Participants who successfully pass the assessment will be issued a Lead Climb and Belay Card.

Lead climbers are responsible for providing their own rope for testing and lead climbing at the wall.

Belay Cards must be visibly displayed on the harness while climbing or belaying.

Top rope belay and lead belay/climb certification testing may be available during normal wall hours, but scheduling a testing appointment in advance is highly recommended. To schedule an appointment, call 751-4137 or email sminatra@logan.org
