Interested in reserving the wall? We host and belay!

 

Cost:

Cost to climb at the wall is billed on a per hour basis. We charge $25 for the first hour of climbing; each subsequent hour is $15/hour. Checks should be made payable to "Ridge Roamers"

 

Liability Release

A Liability Release Form must be filled out by each participant prior to climbing at the wall. This form requires the signature of a parent/guardian if the participant is under the age of eighteen (18.) The liability release form can be found here: Ridge Roamers Group Release Form

 

Reservations:

To reserve the wall, please send us an email at climb@mtu.edu with the following information:

• Organization / Group Name
• Contact Name
• Contact email or phone number
• Desired climbing date and time
• Approximate group size

PLEASE NOTE: We require that all requests be submitted a minimum of two (2) weeks prior to the desired climbing date. This allows us to discuss your request with the Certification Officers who will be helping to facilitate your request, as well as to finalize dates.

 

SDC Availability

The climbing wall can only be reserved during the hours that the SDC Multipurpose is open, unless prior arrangements have been made with the SDC. All groups desiring to climb outside of normal multipurpose room hours will need to contact the SDC office to make arrangements to use the multipurpose room.

 

Restrictions:

While climbing at the Wall, there may only be four (4)-harnessed climbers actually climbing at any one time. This is due to the fact that there are only four (4) top-ropes available. This should be considered while assessing the number of participants to climb in the allotted timeframe.

Ridge Roamers specifies no limit as to how many individuals may participate at the wall during a group event. However, it is the responsibility of the organization leader to control the number of individuals in the SDC at that time.

Wednesday and Thursday nights from 7:00pm-9:00pm are not available for group reservations. This is due to the fact that weekly club climbing nights are held at these times.

The dates on which the Ridge Roamers can host groups depends greatly on the availability of our Certification Officers since they are all MTU students with busy schedules. Our staff is volunteering their time to help with your group, so please be as patient as possible. We do our best to host all the groups that would like to climb at the wall.
