How do I access the Climbing Wall?
The climbing wall is located on the bottom floor of the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center in Room 1. When you enter the Rec. Center, make your way downstairs. Once downstairs, follow the sign to Outdoor Pursuits, Room #1. All climbers must check in at this location in order to climb the wall.
Do I need to take Skills Check or an orientation class before I start climbing?
The only requirements needed are to sign a waiver and a valid KU ID. If you would like to take a belay clinic, you will have the opportunity to sign up for them in Outdoor Pursuits. Belay clinics are offered Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m., and usually last an hour and a half.
How much does it cost to climb?
No cost involved for Students or Faculty with a valid KU ID.
