Climbing Wall
On This Page
Located at the back of the ECU Eakin Student Recreation Center, the Adventure Leadership Program offers an exciting and free experience for anyone who has access to the gym. Our climbing wall is your climbing wall. We strive to have friendly and experienced staff to create a social atmosphere that anyone can be comfortable in. No experience? No problem! We are more than willing to give tips and encouragement and we have harnesses and climbing shoes free for you to use. Whether you come alone or bring your friends, we’re here to make sure you have a great time.

A “Belayer” is attached to the same rope as their climber, and pulls the rope through a device to minimize slack and fall distance. We offer free belay clinics every Tuesday and Wednesday from 6pm-8pm for any students and members interested. This workshop is designed to teach you how to safely tie in as a climber and belay your partner up the wall. Bring a friend and learn a new skill.
Belay clinics last 60 minutes and are offered during days and hours above. Ask a staff member for help when you check in and they will be happy to teach you a new skill.
A “Belay Certified” climber may use their own approved climbing harness (or an approved harness we offer) and may belay other climbers. The test to gain the certification after the workshop is free and a score of 100% is required to pass. The test can be taken any time, at least one day after the workshop.
