Renew Your Belay Endorsement

All patrons are required to renew their top rope belay endorsement with Campus Recreation at the beginning of each fall semester. Your completion of this requirement will assist us in providing the most consistent and safest climbing wall experience for all. The yearly renewal fee is $15.

With our recent move to a computerized tracking and check-in system at the Adventure Center for the climbing wall each patron will also be required to resubmit the climbing wall release forms.

Please complete the forms at the Adventure Center and check when top rope belay endorsement renewals are available. Both of these requirements must be completed as soon as possible.
