Is the HPC climbing wall open to alumni or the general public?

The climbing wall is not currently open to alumni nor the general public; however, the gym is available for rent. For more information, see the climbing wall rental guide or contact the climbing wall coordinator at rob.myers@utahtech.edu.

Do I need a partner, or can I climb by myself?

There are several options if you don’t have a climbing partner.

  • We currently have 5 auto-belays, which allow individuals to climb every sport rout on our wall without a belay partner.
  • If you wish to use ropes, but don’t have a climbing partner, our staff are belay certified and always willing to belay you on any roped climb.
  • Bouldering does not require ropes or a partner, and is a great way to climb individually.

How do I get belay certified?

Ask one of our climbing wall specialists at any time during your visit and they can pass you off on belay skill
