Located inside the Recreation Center, the Saint Mary’s College climbing wall offers a fun and challenging space for members to build confidence, strength, and skill. Completed in 2015, the wall features two auto-belay lanes and three top-rope lanes. Members must complete the required annual belay class or assessment before using the top-rope lanes.
