Boston University Fitness & Recreation Center

Climbing

One of the most unique and exciting features of our facility is the Barreca Climbing Wall. At 30 feet tall at its highest point and 45 feet wide, it offers some of the most challenging routes in the greater Boston area. The wall is fully textured and sculpted with natural features, including modular hand and foot hold placements (6 per square foot). There are 8 full-height climbing stations with a variety of climbing angles, from -2' up to 6' overhanging, and a separate bouldering area.

The bouldering area attracts all levels of climbers. The bouldering structure is a great chance for everyone to practice their skills at low heights with crash pads and spotters to protect their falls.

By offering varying levels of difficulty and constantly changing routes, the Barreca Climbing Wall remains innovative and fun for climbers of all ages and abilities. The climbing and bouldering walls are available for instructional as well as recreational use. Did you know you can host your child's birthday or company team building event on the Barreca Climbing Wall? Check out the Birthday Parties link for more information. In addition, we can develop a class or program around your needs.

Climbing is an exciting and rewarding form of physical fitness, and now all members of the BU community can make use of this indoor facility.
