Climbing Gym and Bouldering Cave

Looking for a fun and exciting alternative to traditional exercise?

This unique activity provides climbers of all ages and abilities with unique physical and mental challenges to build strength, endurance and self-confidence. The 1500 sq. ft. Climbing Gym features 15 belay stations (including 2 auto belays), multiple climbing routes, two artificial crevices, and a 45-degree overhang. Unlimited access to the Climbing Gym is included for all currently-enrolled students and Student Fitness Center members. Guests of students and members are required to purchase a guest pass from the Reception Desk.

During the semester, the Climbing Gym is open Sunday through Friday, 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Hours change during break weeks, finals week, and summer. You may contact the Student Fitness Center Reception Desk at (618) 650-2348 to check hours during these times.

In addition to our open hours, keep an eye out for special events throughout the year such as Climbing 101, Belay classes, Crate Stacking challenges, Glow Climb, and more!

If you have any questions about the Climbing Gym or Chimega's Bouldering Cave, please contact Lucas Wilson via email or call (618) 650-3241.

Chimega's Bouldering Cave

Is the Climbing Gym closed?
Try the Bouldering Cave!

Anytime the Student Fitness Center is open, so is Chimega's Bouldering Cave. The cave offers a fun and challenging experience for all climbers, beginner to advanced. The lower height of the walls and cushioned floor allow for safe use without the need for harnesses, ropes or belay systems.

Stop by next time you're in the SFC and try it out!
