NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY - CROSS-TRAIN FOR STRENGTH & AGILITY - JUST HAVE FUN
 | Lindseth Climbing Wall | |  | | | | One of the most remarkable facilities at Cornell Outdoor Education is The Lindseth Climbing Wall. The wall is the largest indoor natural rock climbing wall in North America. It covers the entire east end of Bartels Hall, and is 160' wide and 30' high, for a total of 4,800 square feet of climbing surface. The bottom 10 feet are available for climbing without a rope. 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.
