Outdoor Leadership Center & Field House Climbing Wall

The climbing wall within the Outdoor Leadership Center & Field House is 38 feet tall, making it the tallest in the Roaring Fork Valley and second tallest on the Western Slope. The wall contains 12 top rope lanes, three auto-belays, a bouldering cave, and a moon board. Routes are reset frequently and range from 5.6 - 5.12+ and V0 - V4.

The climbing wall in the Outdoor Leadership Center & Field House operates under the mission of the College, and therefore supports the academic programs and success of its students. Therefore, there may be closures of the wall to accommodate this mission.

Visitors are responsible for completing a facility orientation and passing designated Proficiency Test(s) before accessing the climbing areas. Once a person has completed the climbing wall orientation and proficiency test, they can use the climbing wall during all hours of operation for open climb. Climbers should display their certification card or have them readily available at all times. At no time, nor under any circumstances, may certification cards be shared, loaned, or borrowed.

Climbing gear is available for rental at the front desk of the Field House. We offer climbing shoes and harnesses to be rented at $2.50 per item or $5 for the set. Thanks to donations from the Spring Valley SGA, full-time CMC students do not have to pay a rental fee at this time.
