You can help set the next route!
While you don’t need to be a advanced climber to set at the University Recreation Climbing Wall, you do need some experience climbing before you come to set routes. A basic understanding of climbing flow and movement as well as grading systems is highly recommended. In order to route set, you must attend a route setting clinic with the climbing wall staff.
We change our routes weekly.
Once you complete a Route Setting Clinic you can drop in to help us change our routes. Route setting occurs each week, alternating between Mondays and Tuesdays (6:00-9:00p.m.). The Lead Route Setter will work with you to set a route and guide you on how to grow as a setter.
Register for a Route Setting Clinic:
Clinics are held the last weekend of February and April:
Saturdays, you can join us for a bouldering clinic. Sunday you can join us for a top rope setting clinic. To attend this clinic we ask you register online, and hold at least 1 month of climbing experience.
