Climbing Wall Guidelines

Athletics is committed to providing a safe, inviting experience for the University of Guelph community. Please assist us by adhering to the following guidelines:

• Try not to touch your face when climbing or without sanitizing/cleaning first and practice proper respiratory etiquette
• Sanitize hands when entering & exiting the indoor climbing wall location
• Sanitize between climbs, if possible.  We encourage sanitizing between climbs as we cannot sanitize the rope and rock holds
• Please physical distance as much as possible (2m distance).  No congregating or sitting down in groups
• To help keep the air and climbing area as clean as possible, please use liquid chalk or chalk socks/balls (we prefer no loose chalk) 
• When climbing top rope, you must have at least one climbing route between yourself and any other climbers on the wall
• Bouldering must be respectful of the distance between each other and not get close to each other
• Please come dressed to climb as there are no change rooms at the climbing wall.  If necessary, please use the Athletics Centre Changerooms 

Equipment Rental

• Climbing shoes & harnesses are available for free and will be cleaned and quarantined after each usage
