The UConn Climbing Center is located on the 1st floor of the Student Recreation Center (SRC.) It covers over 5,000 sq. ft. of climbing space that reaches up to 56 feet! There are 10 top rope belay stations and a bouldering only area. Use of the Climbing Center is FREE to all SRC members. Get in great shape, challenge yourself regularly with updated climbing routes and enjoy a great time with friends. Open climbing time is available every day of the week with our staff ready to assist you.

Get Started:

All climbers using the UConn Climbing Center must first complete a basic 15 minute Basic Climbing Center Orientation to start boulder.  A 2 hour Top Rope Orientation must be completed to be able to use the top rope and auto belay section of the wall. Orientation registration for orientations are available 48 hours in advance at recregistration.uconn.edu.

• Basic Orientations last approximately 15 minutes and are limited to 10 participants per class.
• Top Rope Orientations last approximately two hours and are limited to 10 participants per class.

Participants who pass the Climbing Center skills test will have their UConn ID’s activated & may use the facility anytime during open climbing hours. Failure to pass the skills test will require enrollment in another Orientation at a later date.
