Climbing Walls
Everyone is welcome to climb at the UMD climbing walls.
Equipment is provided and instructors are always on hand to
show you what to do. Beginners through advanced climbers are
welcome. See you at the Wall!
Try ice climbing moves indoors on our simulated ice panels
at the North Shore Wall. Stop by during our open climbing hours on
weekdays 4-8 pm to swing an ice axe and get the feeling of real frozen
waterfalls without the cold temps!
North Shore Wall
The North Shore Wall extends through two stories and into a
skylight in the middle of the RSOP Fitness Center. Features
include top rope climbing, lead-climbing routes, realistic hand
cracks, a rappel ledge and a great bouldering area.
The Inland Wall
The Inland Wall, adjacent to the ice rink/tennis courts has set
open hours as well (see below). Climbers love the Inland Wall’s
Bouldering Cave and realistic roped terrain. Group sessions,
skill clinics and special events are also scheduled at the Inland
Wall.
