Challenge yourself with an uphill battle on our 50-foot Indoor Climbing Wall!

The SAC houses an indoor climbing wall located on the East Recreational Court, operated by the UNC Charlotte Venture Program. Built by Arete Climbing Systems, the Wall consists of a custom-sculpted climbing surface, with additional holds attached. Natural features (cracks, aretes, roofs, chimneys) give the look and feel of real rock, and numerous movable handholds give flexibility in route setting.

• All Levels:  The Wall has beginner, intermediate and advanced routes, with both slab and overhanging sections. A less than vertical section (slab) with many natural features (cracks and a chimney) and lots of handholds is more inviting for beginner climbers. Finger cracks and a large roof will offer a significant challenge for the experienced climber.
• Rental Equipment:  Climbers can rent all required climbing equipment at the Wall. A harness is $3 per visit or $10 to reserve for the entire semester. Shoes are $2 per visit or $20 to reserve for the entire semester.
• Exams:  Beginning climbers must first take an introductory course ($15 fee). Experienced climbers must pass a proficiency test ($5 fee).

Wall Hours:  Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

The Wall is closed during special events in the SAC.
