The Stanford Climbing wall is open to all Stanford students, staff, faculty, and community. All levels from beginners to experienced are welcome. 25 ropes, 60 routes, and 30 boulder problems bring nearly 1000 unique visitors to the climbing wall each year. Classes are offered for those new to climbing, or for those who want to take their climbing to the next level. For class information, check in the Recreation Classes section. Climb On!
The climbing wall is restricted to Stanford students, faculty and staff ONLY.
Admission and Belay Lessons
Admission is free to Stanford students, faculty and staff. Please bring your SUID with you. You will be asked to sign a waiver during your first visit, or you can print the waiver now, sign it, and bring it with you to avoid delays (for best results, print it as 2 sides on a single sheet of paper; both pages of the waiver are required).
No experience is required to boulder around the gym (climbing at low height).
To use the ropes, you must pass a belay test. Beginners are welcome - free belay lessons are offered 15 minutes after the wall opens, and also at 5:15pm M-W. To summarize, belay lessons and certification are offered at the following times (hours for 2007-08 school year):
- Monday 3:15 pm, 5:15 pm
- Tuesday 3:15 pm, 5:15 pm
- Wednesday 3:15 pm, 5:15 pm
- Thursday 3:15 pm
- Friday 2:15 pm
Climbing Technique Classes
Various classes on climbing technique are available to students, staff and faculty. Each class is held 1-1.5 hours per week (Tue, Wed or Thur) usually in the 11am - 2:45pm time frame. Enroll through the Athletics Department.
