***Attentions Patrons: Climbing Wall Update***
The climbing wall will be closed from MAY 6 – MAY 24 for our annual cleaning, stripping, and resetting of the wall. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will resume operation the week of May 27 and be open with an adjusted summer schedule (Hours are noted below).
NOTE: If the temperature is below 40 degrees F, the Wall is CLOSED.
Ever climbed before? Ever want to? The Wall is the best place to come for beginner climbing instruction, and it’s right on campus in the Vanderbilt Recreation Center. Whether you are a seasoned veteran and want to practice your moves, or you have never seen a pair of climbing shoes and are scared of heights, this is the place for you.
Experienced Outdoor Recreation employees are available to show you the ups and downs of climbing, and teach you the real love for this exhilarating sport. Climbing shoes are available at the wall to use, free of charge, so not owning your own is no excuse! Come check it out and you will wonder why you have never tried this before.
The Wall is staffed every evening of the week (Monday – Friday) but exact hours are flexible throughout the year. The Outdoor Rec. Staff is delighted to show you how to get you properly fitted for a harness and shoes, climb the wall, and most importantly… get back down slowly. Just stop by whenever you see it open (i.e., the big grey cart is parked in front of the wall), check the schedule, or call (615) 343-6627 to find out times of operation for that day.
For more information about the wall contact Lee Collette at 615-322-0811 or e-mail to outdoorrec@vanderbilt.edu
Climbing is FREE to Student Recreation Center members. Guests pay $10.00 per visit to use the Wall.
