Grand Valley State University - Climbing Center

The mission of the GVSU Climbing Center is to provide unique educational experiences for all who wish to participate in the activity of rock climbing.

The 2600 square feet of climbing surface as well as the abundance of programming opportunities makes the Climbing Center an attractive and valuable resource to many groups and individuals both on and off GVSU's campus.
