Solomon Climbing Wall
Located in the Athletic and Wellness Center, the Solomon Climbing Wall was constructed in memory of Ethan Solomon in 1999. It is an Eldorado Walls design and includes sculpted holds and faces, bolted lead climbs and a natural crack climb. Each semester 10-14 climbs of varying difficulty are set, ranging from beginner to advanced.
The climbing wall is open to Earlham College students, faculty and staff. It’s also open to special groups by reservation.
We welcome private groups and organizations such as community centers, camps and schools to use our wall.
Birthday parties, club trips, staff outings, family climbing and personal training are a few examples of special group use.
To reserve the wall for groups of up to eight participants, contact us at 765.983.1790 or email [email protected].
Children must be at least 5 years old and weigh at least 50 lb to climb. Climbers under 17 must have a parent/guardian sign a liability waiver for minors.
