Climbing Route Guide
Find out what's new and what routes match your ability.
Bouldering
A fun and challenging traverse across the wall or just part way up the wall instead of ascending the whole wall. Boulder is done short distances from the ground and does not require a belay but may require spotting. Bouldering is a great way to work on your technique. Bouldering is available anytime the SRWC is open to those that are trained and bouldering approved. Just check in with the membership desk and get a wrist band.
Open during SRWC operation hours.
Roped Climbing
During Roped Climbing, the Climbing Wall Staff will provide all the necessary supervision for belay certified climbers to belay member or for belay certified climbers to use the auto-belay. Staff will not be able to belay members at this time.
