Climbing and Bouldering
Lessons and skill-building courses
Start with beginner lessons and progress as your skills develop. Our experienced instructors teach kids and adults year-round.
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 through recommendations and feedback of the local climbing community.
Students and group discounts. University of Calgary students have free access to the climbing walls as part of their fees.
