The indoor rock climbing wall over at the Wilson Center is quickly becoming the hottest Nick School hangout outside HUG Commons. You can get access for a small fee of $25 and an hour of belaying training -- which they'll wave for you if you can prove your competence. The sign-up fee covers free rental of shoes, harness, and chalk bag. Luckily, the shoes are still pretty fresh and new...

The wall itself is a 35 footer with around 12 climbing chutes. The wall staff changes up the routes as much as possible -- usually every month of two -- so things stay exciting.

Hours are pretty limited at the moment, but plans are in the works to expand open climbing time. Check out the wall Mondays, Wednesdays (ideal for a study break) and Fridays 7-10ish with extended hours on the weekend.
