Climbing is a great work out and a fun way to relax -- Both a social sport and a great way to challenge yourself. The ROC wall, is a bouldering wall located in the '87 gym next to the Quad. Bouldering is a type of climbing done without ropes at low heights named for the fact that when done outdoors it is a variation of climbing practiced on large boulders. The climbing wall is open Monday thru Friday during many different hours of the day, a schedule of which can be found in the 'Wall Hours' button above. Though the ROC wall is meant for Outing Club members, anyone may feel free to come down and try it out and then look to become a member of the outing club if they are interested. Indoor rock climbing was originally created as a way for climbers to practice their skills and train for outdoor climbing. In recent years it has gained autonomy as its own sport. The Rensselaer Outing Club does many other types of climbing, from rock to ice, when the weather is right. Check out the rest of the ROC site through the navigation bar at the top of the page.
