Reservations
Private instruction and climbing is available for groups and events. Advance notice of 2 weeks is required to schedule.
Rates ($40-$70/hr) are based on group size. Most events are scheduled on weekends before 3PM. Contact Michael Savage at msavage@colgte.edu or call at 315.228.6117.
Belaying Belay clinics are offered any time during open hours when things aren't too crowded. If you are a first-time climber or are unfamiliar with belaying, please take the belay clinic or a PE climbing course before taking the belay test.
You may take the test no sooner than 24 hours after taking the clinic. The belay test is free to Colgate community members and $4 for everyone else after the first attempt. Re-testing is required each school year.
If you are an experienced climber and are familiar with the Angert Family Climbing Wall, you can look over our belay test form (to see our standards) and take the test right away.
