We provide all equipment for climbing except for climbing shoes.

Are you interested in renting the climbing wall for yourself or for a group of people? View our current rates or contact the Recreation staff at intramurals@uwrf.edu or (715)425-4289 for more information. Our staff is trained and ready to belay and guide you on the wall.

Our Mission

The mission of the UWRF Climbing Wall staff is to provide a safe and challenging atmosphere for all climbers. This allows students, faculty, staff and community members the opportunity to set and achieve goals. In addition, the UWRF Climbing Wall provides a wall made of real stone to give climbers a realistic experience. We create an environment for beginner to expert climbers to improve their climbing ability.

About Our Wall

The UWRF Climbing Wall is made out of real stone to give climbers a realistic experience. We have a 10ft. tall training wall that has 10 sections that vary in difficulty. The Climbing Wall itself is 40ft. tall with 8 lead ropes and 10 resting platforms. This wall is designed for all skill levels.
