Climbing Wall
The University Recreation Climbing Wall stands 50-feet at its highest point and offers climbers an excellent mental and physical workout. Whether you are new to climbing or you have been doing it for years, the CWU Climbing Wall offers clinics and classes that will suit your needs. We offer one to two-day clinics on technical skills and movement technique for many levels of experience as well as quarter-long classes, which can be taken for college credit.
