OA Climbing Wall- Belay Class (Friday)

Welcome to climbing! The Outdoor Action Climbing Wall is an indoor rock climbing & bouldering facility, 32 feet high and 66 feet across with 14 belay stations. It offers both vertical and overhanging sections as well as a roof and three artificial cracks. 

The Climbing Wall is FREE! Climbers of all abilities are welcome! Experienced instructors will be on hand to teach skills and assist in solving particular climbing routes. OA provides all equipment (harness, shoes, ropes, etc.). You should come prepared wearing athletic clothing. Please bring your prox (ID card).

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

Please read this description for important information. 

If you have experience belaying, you may ask the wall staff to take a belay test during open hours or belay testing hours. 

If you are new to belaying, you must take a brief belay class taught by our Wall Staff. The class is free, but pre-registration is required to ensure proper student-instructor ratios.

After successful completion of the class, you'll need to return to the Wall on a different day to demonstrate skill retention in order to become Belay Certified.
