Climbing Programs

Bouldering

A fun and challenging traverse across the wall or just part way up the wall instead of ascending the whole wall. Boulder is done short distances from the ground and does not require a belay but may require spotting. Bouldering is a great way to work on your technique. Bouldering is available anytime the SRWC is open to those that are trained and bouldering approved. Just check in with the membership desk and get a wrist band.
Open during SRWC operation hours

During Roped Climbing, the Climbing Wall Staff will provide all the necessary supervision for belay certified climbers to belay member or for belay certified climbers to use the auto-belay. Staff will not be able to belay members at this time.

Staff Belayed Climbing

During Staff Belayed Climbing, the climbing wall staff will be on hand to belay new and current climbers. All equipment is provided. Bouldering is also allowed during Roped Climbing.
