The purpose of the Marshall University
Campus Recreation Outdoor Pursuits is to
provide challenging, fun and educational
programs that teach essential outdoor skills,
teamwork and self-confidence, encourage
personal growth and enable participants to stay
fit and learn about the environment around
them. One of the most visible portions of the
program is our indoor climbing wall. Marshall
Campus Recreation offers a full service
climbing facility that includes top rope, lead
and boulder climbing, rappelling and indoor
climbing lessons, group rentals, programs for
kids, schools, families, and scouts, and team
building opportunities.
The climbing wall is a 35' wide, three story
tall lead wall with an attached 22' wide by 12'
tall bouldering wall. The lead wall has nine
lead routes with top-rope belay bars and a
two-three person belay ledge. The wall is a
freeform design by Entre Prise Climbing Walls
and incorporates built-in ledges, pockets and
cracks including two, full height climbable
cracks. Come try your skills year round on our
surface that looks and feels like real
rock.
Marshall is into “Green” you can be too!
