Climbing Center

On the south side of the Sherwood Athletic Center you’ll find the Whitman College Climbing Center. The custom-designed main wall is over 100 feet long and 32 feet high. There is a bouldering area with overhangs and more. The facility is fully enclosed and was designed by the same company that built REI’s Pinnacle Climbing Wall in Seattle. You can find students of all skill levels using the climbing wall. There are open climb hours and beginning climbing classes. Many students hone their skills on the wall, and then participate in climbing trips and become climbing instructors themselves.
