Luckily, students at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) now have a rock climbing experience right under their nose. An indoor rock climbing wall was incorporated in the building of the new Student Recreation Center (SRC) at the San Fernando Valley campus.
Located at the entrance of the facility is the
three-story high rock climbing wall. At 44 feet one is able to climb
with all of the equipment, and even shoes, available for checkout by the SRC.
So you can just come to the gym if you are a registered member and start climbing!
However, if a climbing staff member is not present
at the desired time of climb then you must have completed the climbing wall
safety orientation in order to scale solo. There SRC has a complete set of
guidelines for using the wall.
Belaying refers to using ropes and harnesses, but
you don’t have to be completely knowledgeable of the terms and best climbing
moves in order to start your ascend. The staff at the SRC is equipped to train
even those who have never used the ropes before or the wall. Beginners are
definitely welcome.
Check out essential tips for before, after and
during rock climbing.
It is important to take care of your body even after your workout has ended.
Make sure you let your body have some rest after using a rock climbing wall and
replenish yourself with plenty of water and complex carbohydrates.
