Climbing Programs

Our Climbing Wall

Our current wall, located in the Y Wellness Center offers 800 sq feet of climbing surface for climbers of all abilities. Routes have been carefully marked out to provide more experienced climbers with a more challenging experience and beginners an experience that will keep them coming back for more.

Coming Soon!

In the Y’s new Summit Road facility the climbing wall is a wonder to behold. Climbing 32 feet into the air from the ground floor, up through the Wellness Center, the wall offers 980 sq. feet of climbing surface. Constructed to look and feel like natural granite, the wall provides a unique experience for climbers of all abilities.
