Emory Rock Climbing Arena (ERCA)

Thanks to the work of the Emory Mountaineering Club, the Athletics and Recreation Department, and the Student Government, the two climbing walls located in the Woodruff Physical Education Center were completely renovated in March, 1997. The walls have been expanded in size and have been textured to feel like real stone. The walls offer a variety of challenges, including corners, overhangs, moveable hand holds for changing routes, and room for multiple climbers. Safety is the area’s highest priority. The three levels of ERCA participation are walk-up climber, approved belayer, and court attendant.

All climbers must be 14 years old or older, and must be current members of the Woodruff PE Center or Emory students (no summer camp participants without prior permission).

EMORY AFFILIATED GROUPS/ORGANIZATIONS:
To schedule time for your group to use the wall, we need at least two weeks notice to seek attendant(s) to open the wall and belay climbers. Whether or not we can accommodate your group depends on the availability of the climbing wall attendants.

Two attendants $65 per hour (approximately 7-12 people)
Three attendants $85 per hour (approximately 13-18 people)
Four attendants $105 per hour (approximately 19-25 people)

Climbers must be at least 14 years old; anyone aged 14-17 needs a parent or guardian to sign the climbing wall waiver.

48 Hour Cancellation Policy:

If an event has been scheduled, at least 48 hours prior to the event is needed for cancellations. If the cancellation occurs within 48 hours of the event, the group will be charged the full amount.
