Climbing Wall

The Coors Fitness Center is home to an indoor, two-story climbing wall that features bouldering and belaying opportunities.

Our climbing wall is open to the DU and Denver communities and is heavily used during our youth activities programs.

Belaying is limited to supervised climbing times. Bouldering is allowed anytime the climbing wall area is not in use. Harnesses and helmets are provided during supervised climbing hours.

All open climb participants must check in with the Coors Fitness Center front desk.

Learn to climb

We offer introductory classes by request both for individuals and for groups of up to five participants. Classes include:
