The ÃÛÌÒapp Climbing Center is modeled after the Red River Gorge in Kentucky, and has over 50 routes that change weekly. It is 40' tall and 90' long and includes six natural crack systems. 

The ÃÛÌÒapp Climbing Center offers FREE climbing experiences for all ÃÛÌÒapp students, faculty, and staff. It is not open to the general public. The Climbing Center is in the lobby of the Spoelhof Fieldhouse Complex.

Our instructional staff are trained to create a safe and memorable first-time experience for those learning to climb and belay. A dynamic team of student setters maintain 50 routes from 5.6 to 5.13. The Climbing Center offers a welcoming and hospitable community of ÃÛÌÒapp students and is a high energy social hub on the ÃÛÌÒapp campus.
