Mobile Rock Wall
The University of California, Riverside's Recreation department is proud to offer the Southern California community the opportunity to experience rock climbing with our Mobile Rock Wall. We provide all related climbing gear and our experienced staff can create an exciting, fun and safe experience for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy!
Our 25 foot, five person auto belay system means that several people can enjoy climbing the wall during your event. With a 6 to 8 foot radius landing zone and routes ranging from easy to expert, our rock wall is a perfect attraction to any corporate, school, church, birthday, fundraiser or camp event. If your event requires a small footprint area, our truck can be removed leaving the wall free standing. We can setup indoors or outdoors, anywhere that is level and where you can drive a trailer.
