General information:
Come to the wall now!  There are over 50 individually rated routes.  If you are the first to climb it...you can name it whatever you want (within reason, of course).

Read about the rating system used on our wall.

Although most of the belaying at the wall is "top-roped", if you pass a "Lead Belay/Lead Climb" skills competency test, you can try one of four different "lead route" areas.  Contact Eric Redinger if you have any questions at eredinger@semo.edu or 651-2471.
