We have collectively created a climbing venue that rivals anything in the Midwest built to a quality standard making us an eligible host for national competitions. We know of no other activity that calls upon the skills of the individual to such an extent as rock climbing. Rock climbing involves so much more than developing motor skills, for climbing develops a person's inner strength and leads them, at the same time, to a fuller understanding of how they relate to others.

To reserve a climbing wall time call the hotline number at (712) 224-5127 to reserve your wall time which is available in 2 hour sessions. Individual reservations will not be accepted more than 7 days in advance. Drop-in climbing will be available only if all slots are not reserved.
