Climbing thrives on college and university campuses.

With the rising popularity of climbing, a wall is an integral part of the student and faculty experience. Climbing walls provide a forum to gain confidence, problem solve, collaborate, and build a lasting community. As recreational climbing continues to grow, collegiate competition climbing is gaining momentum with no signs of slowing down, thanks to the governing body, USA Climbing, and the Olympics.
