Climbing Wall

This 40-foot climbing wall, located in the Outdoor Centre, is specifically designed to mimic real rock as closely as possible. This makes it ideal for teaching climbing & mountaineering skills, and practicing techniques such as rappelling, setting anchors, lead climbing, rock and crevasse rescue.

Features include:

  • Molded concrete panels, complete with real quartzite blocks.
  • Realistic features, such as vertical and horizontal cracks, finger holds, fist jams, small edges, friction bulges and other rock features.
  • A variation of face-climbing challenges on each panel for climbers of any skill level.
