The Climbing Wall will be closed for Summer 2024 and will reopen in mid-August.
Climbing Wall Info
The climbing wall is 33 ft. tall to the pinnacle and has a natural appearance, resembling the geology of North Dakota. The walls are Nicros Artificial Rock Technology walls, which incorporate both natural features and traditional rock climbing holds.
The top rope free-standing wall is approximately 26 ft. in length and can be used by climbers of all skill levels. The wall offers a variety of terrain from moderate to expert routes. The separate bouldering wall is 12 ft. high and 25 ft. long.
How do I get started?
Come to the Climbing Wall and Outdoor Adventures desk and talk to one of our staff. The staff will help you get signed up for one of our belay certification courses, provided at no charge to members. Belay Certification courses will be offered starting at 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. No previous experience is necessary.
What should I wear?
Wear clothing that allows freedom of movement. For example, what you’re wearing should allow you to step up to the second rung of a ladder and/or do jumping jacks. Shoes should fit snug and lace up. Avoid shoes with open heels or toes. Socks are mandatory for rental shoes, which are provided free of charge.
Do I need a partner?
No, anyone can boulder without a partner. Our staff will help you pair up with other climbers who are looking to climb and belay.
What is bouldering?
Bouldering is rock climbing close enough to the ground that ropes are not needed. To help make landings safer, boulderers often use dense-foam ‘crash pads’ and spotters.
