The gym is an excellent place for students and others to gather and engage in an enjoyable and athletic activity all year long. It is open to all students, faculty, and employees, as well as to members of the community who are over the age of 18 and members of the Dartmouth Outing Club. To ensure the safety of every climber, monitors are always on hand to assist and help practicing climbers. They inspect holds, ropes and anchors. They check belayers' credentials, supervise climbing activity and assure compliance to climbing rules.
Monitors remain on-site during the climbing hours and secure the area when they leave.
There can be no climbing unless the monitors are on-site. Users of the climbing gym are expected to follow the rules and heed the instructions of the monitors. Rules violations can also result in further action as set forth in the Dartmouth College Student Handbook. Safety Rules and Regulations Climbing is limited to twelve climbers at any one time. The room capacity of the Climbing Gym is twenty-four people.
