Climbing Wall

NOW OPEN!!
The climbing wall is a 43 foot Entre-Prises artificial climbing structure equipped with 5 top-ropes and capable of accommodating lead climbing. It is located inside the Warrior Fitness Center. The wall is managed by a dedicated band of volunteers who have developed procedures to ensure the wall is maintained and managed, reducing risk and ensure that this amazing free resource is available to all who are interested in the sport of climbing. Without this team of volunteers there would be no route setting, maintenance, or instructional courses. Though the volunteers have applied industry standards, experience, and dedication to the management of the wall, the human factor involved is directly related to safety and is the cause of nearly all climbing accidents. It is the responsibility of all climbers to ensure maximum safety on the wall. All users who will be belaying other climbers must attend a Climbing 101 or have the ability to successfully challenge the required skills to complete Climbing 101. All belayers must be able to demonstrate the ability to inspect, fit, and operate an UIAA approved harness, tie into the harness using an Inline Figure 8, conduct proper individual safety checks on themselves and their climbing partner, and belay using the PBUS system (Pull, Break, Under, Slide).

Climbing 101: We offer scheduled classes for those who would like to learn how to climb. Classes are taught by a staff member. For questions about the class or to schedule at date/time, please contact the gym at 801.777.2762 or email us at 75FSS.WarriorFitCtr@us.af.mil.
