With both a climbing wall and a bouldering center, Stanford boasts the most square footage of any collegiate climbing facility in the nation. Climbing is open to all Stanford community members and routes are designed to be accessible to everyone – from beginners to experienced climbers.

In addition to our open hours we offer quarter-long recreation classes that teach climbing basics, intermediate and advanced climbing techniques, and other technical skills.
