The Lakeshore Climbing Wall is available to eager climbers of all ages and abilities! We are proud to offer a variety of specialized programs in addition to the instructed, on-staff climbing times available at no additional cost to members.

Staffed Climbing Wall Hours

Tuesday and Thursday   5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday      Noon to 4 p.m.

How To Use The Wall

Every person who uses the Climbing Wall must first fill out a climbing waiver in the presence of a member of the Climbing Staff. Children under the age of 18 must have a parent present to sign the waiver the first time they use the Climbing Wall.

Members and Non-members are welcome to visit the Climbing Wall anytime during staffed hours. A Climbing Wall Team member will belay climbers, ensuring safety and proper use of equipment. Climbing staff is available for demonstration, advice, and guidance. Staff can answer questions about bouldering, lead climbing, belaying, harnesses, route difficulty and much more. Limit two climbs per person. Climbing shoes may be rented for $3 dollars.

The Climbing Staff is happy to belay climbers as time permits, but we encourage all climbers who enjoy the Climbing Wall to take the Orientation Clinic to “learn the ropes” and have access to the Climbing Wall during non-staffed hours.
