What sets us apart?
Built to practice outdoor mountain skills. Our 13m indoor climbing wall features an Entre-Prises wall and molded concrete panels embedded with quartzite holds, texture, cracks and chimneys. It was designed to learn/practice leading on gear, anchor building, rappelling, rock rescue and crevasse rescue.
A revamped Bouldering Wall. The bouldering wall in the basement of the Kinesiology A block was revamped in 2019 with recommendations and feedback from the local climbing community.
