Experience the vertical world of rock climbing on our 2200 sq. ft. of sculpted terrain at the College Avenue Gym. Climb along sheer verticals, sculpted bulges, and horizontal overhangs, and feel the adrenaline as you hang onto a rock twenty feet above the floor.

Come with a friend or be belayed by one of our staff members. All belayers must be certified by Rutgers Rock Gym staff, regardless of previous certifications at other gyms. For beginners, we offer free trial climbs!! Our staff will set you up with free gear and help you learn the basics of climbing indoors.
