Climbing 101: Intro to Indoor Rock Climbing

This class is for people who have never been rock climbing!

Rock Climbing is a fun sport that works the entire body and mind. It's a great combination of strength training, delicate gymnastic-like movement, and a challenging mental exercise to figure out your next move on the Wall. 

In this introductory class, you will learn how to adjust a climbing harness to fit you, become familiar with our climbing facility, learn about efficient climbing movement, and have plenty of time to climb! Teaching will be interspersed with climbing and games and is taught by trained climbing instructors.

OA provides all equipment (harness, shoes, ropes, etc.). You should come prepared wearing athletic clothing, bring a water bottle, and have your prox (ID card) to swipe in.

Consider signing up for additional climbing classes to develop your technique by learning more about footwork and hand movements. 

Climbing is available for Princeton University students, faculty, staff, spouses, and visiting summer students. Official Princeton University photo ID required. If registering a spouse, please include their first and last name in the registration questionnaire.
