Glenwood Springs Rec Center
In this post, I will give you all the information about the climbing gym Glenwood Springs Rec Center in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
The beta photos describe the natural features built into the wall. I think they will be a good alternative to the route descriptions. The purpose of the descriptions is not to hype the routes more than warranted, but to provide info to climbers who climb during unstaffed hours, or when no staff members with knowledge of the routes are available.
The wall is located within the Glenwod Springs Rec Center. It was constructed by Monolithic Sculptures (monosculpt.com/index.php ), the same company that designed the Spot Gym among others. The wall is a natural rock construction and climbs brilliantly on the permanent natural features ranging from 5.10-5.14? and V0-V6+. The wall also has T-nuts for screw on holds for a change of set routes in addition to the natural terrain. The wall is top rope equipped with auto belays and ropes and bouldering is allowed to feet-to-head-height. New routes are usually put up weekly.
BELAY CERTIFIED CLIMBERS with their own equipment are allowed to climb any time except during climbing classes (usually Wed. 5:00pm-6:15pm). Come in during staffed hours for a belay certification or belay lesson. Belay lessons and certifications are FREE of charge. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE PROPER MODERN TECHNIQUE IN THE USE OF PROPER EQUIPMENT TO PASS YOUR Certification. (If it has been a while or never since you have had formal training see this article we can catch you up.)
We provide all equipment free of charge during staffed hours(harnesses, shoes, chalk, belay devices, and helmets (usual for outdoor trips)). We carry climbing shoes from Kids 11 to adult size 13.5. There is no additional fee for the use of the wall. CLIMBERS 4-6 YEARS OLD MUST HAVE A BELAY CERTIFIED PARENT TO SUPERVISE.
Passes include use of the shower, pool, water and floor aerobics, climbing wall, public skating (Ice: November – March/Roller other times), tennis (without reservations), gymnasium, ongoing fitness classes and fitness center.
