Located within The Pulse Fitness Centre, our state-of-the-art Climbing Gym offers a large space for Top Rope Climbing and Bouldering. The Climbing Wall hosts 6 top-rope climbs of 36 feet, while the bouldering wall is 45 feet long with several bouldering routes. Both invite climbing recreation opportunities for the beginner and experienced climber.

Access and use is free for Full-Time McMaster students and DBAC members. All the necessary equipment is provided, including climbing shoes and harnesses. Please feel free to bring your own harness and shoes if you have them. Chalk is available for purchase at $2 a scoop. 

If you are new to climbing, we welcome you in to check it out. Staff and volunteers are more than happy to provide orientation and assistance to Climbing. We also offer 2-hour belay schools to provide keen new climbers with the essential technical and equipment knowledge to get you on your way.
