Rock Climbing Sign-Up

Do you like to challenge yourself? Try rock climbing at the Knowles Center. It is a $5.00 fee plus Knowles Daily Admission. Knowles Daily Admission is waived for UWRF students, faculty, and staff with current university ID and for those who have a Knowles membership. 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? Contact the Recreation staff at intramurals@uwrf.edu(email) today for prices. 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.

Waivers/Liability
You must sign a waiver(PDF) before you will be allowed to use the wall. Participants 18 years old and younger must have the wavier signed by a parent/guardian. Climbing Wall staff will check to make sure everyone has the waiver filled out correctly. Those without waiver will be unable to climb. Once we receive a complete waiver we will keep it on file for one academic year.
