The Lindseth Climbing Wall is Cornell Outdoor Education's primary indoor rock climbing facility. Open to the general public and the Cornell community, it is the Ithaca area's primary location for indoor rock climbing.
We offer day, semester, and annual passes to climb during our open hours, but we also offer private climbing opportunities for individuals and groups. We regularly host birthday parties, scout troops, youth organizations, student organizations, and many other groups at the climbing wall. Contact [email protected] for pricing and availability for individual or group programs.
The climbing surface consists of natural rocks embedded into concrete blocks, combined with sculpted forms of high-aggregate concrete. In addition to face climbs, the climbing wall also has both finger and hand cracks, overhangs, arêtes, slabs, and chimneys. At the Lindseth Climbing Wall there are opportunities for climbers of any ability level to develop their confidence and climbing skills, challenge themselves, and have fun.
