IU Outdoor Adventures offers a mobile, 30-foot tall climbing wall available for use at free public events around campus and for private event rental. The wall features auto belays, a “fossilized” exterior, and four climbing routes that each offer a different path and level of difficulty.
View free climbing opportunities on the IUOA Events Calendar, and be on the lookout for the wall popping up around campus.
IUOA's mobile climbing wall can be rented to IU departments, schools, programs, and to the general public for private events.
Contact Hannah McConnell at hmmcconn@iu.edu for further details, availability, and pricing.
"The mobile rock wall was great for promotion and caused a great deal of attention within the IU Student Government's Stop-Bias Campaign. The wall was a highlight for so many students and gave them a chance to connect and encourage each other, but also to try something new! 10/10 for sure!"
- Joa'Quinn Griffin, Undergraduate Student
“Our event attendees loved the climbing wall! IUOA was so easy to work with—they took care of the whole setup process and we just had to show up. I highly recommend bringing the mobile climbing wall to your next outdoor event!"
- Anisa Valenzuela, Sustain IU
"The rock wall event was a huge success in which participants enjoyed moving and getting active! Not only did Graduate-Scholar Connect attendees gain new skills and discover a passion for climbing, they also fostered new relationships in the international community. No previous climbing experience is required thanks to the outstanding professionalism shown by the IUOA staff on site. They made sure students felt safe, welcomed and encouraged."
- Katie Goodroad, Office of International Services
"Our students had a great time climbing the rock wall and, once they got comfortable, had an even better time racing each other. The IUOA team took care of everything related to the rock wall, which allowed me and my team to concentrate on other aspects of our event. This was a great way to end a successful year!" - Mary Kate McConahay, Jellison Living Learning Center
