The back corner of the Athletic Complex features a cove of adventure and fitness tucked away where you'd least expect it! The climbing wall is FREE for all Laurier students, and can be accessed with a free pass.
The indoor climbing wall reaches 25 feet and simulates many natural contours and foot holds. It is specifically designed for teaching basic climbing and mountaineering skills. Our indoor rock climbing gym is a great place for new climbers to start improving their upper-body strength or for experienced climbers to fit regular workouts into their weeks.
