We're excited to introduce three TruBlue Auto Belay Devices!
These devices will allow you to climb even if you can't find a belay partner, and are also great for training sessions.
Please note: An auto belay certification is required for use. If you already have a UAF climbing wall certification, all you need to do is set up a time with us and we will get you a new card that reflects the auto belay certification.
Safety Orientation Class
Required for all climbing wall partcipants
Orientation starts promptly. Late comers will be asked to sign up for a different class. The class is about an hour-and-a-half long.
But what if I just want to boulder?
You still need to take the safety orientation class!
You must register in advance as space is limited.
For Private certification contact Christian Mogensen at cgmogensen@alaska.edu.

Lead Climbing
Join us Wednesdays from 5-8pm at the SRC climbing wall for Lead Night!
In order to lead climb you must pass a lead climbing and belaying assessment. Ask the wall monitor to be checked off.
We will have two lead ropes and quickdraws for two teams available for use. You may bring your own lead gear, but this will be checked by the wall monitor to insure the equipment is safe to use.
See all Lead Night policies here.
