Our Climbing Wall
In the Y’s new Summit Road facility the climbing wall is a wonder to behold. Climbing 32 feet into the air from the ground floor, up through the Wellness Center, the wall offers 980 sq. feet of climbing surface. Constructed to look and feel like natural granite, the wall provides a unique experience for climbers of all abilities.
