Miami University Climbing Club

Climbing club was established to promote the sport of rock climbing. Bouldering is the bare essentials of rock climbing and ropes and harnesses are not used. Instead, safety mats are used to cushion falls. Climbers only climb to a height of 12-16 feet but the routes, or, "problems" are tricky to solve and often require creativity and balance rather than brute strength. We also take part in sport climbing, where ropes are used to protect falls and you can climb to greater heights, while still being safe. We plan on taking trips to various bouldering and climbing locations both indoors and outdoors in addition to spending time at the Rec Center climbing wall at Miami. Travel locations include Rock Quest in Cincinnati and The Red River Gorge in Kentucky. Additionally we will be participating in competitions around Ohio. Students of all skill levels are accepted, and no experience is necessary. Climbing is easy to pick up and you can never stop improving.
