        This Friday, February 9th 2018 we will have a free call out meeting for any Butler students at Hoosier Heights. We will be meeting at Hoosier Heights at 5:00 on Friday. Climbing will be completely free, but you will still need to rent equipment (harnesses, shoes, etc.).

        If you need transportation or are interested in coming with us on our first outing, please contact one of the club officers. This is our first climbing experience as a club, so  we hope to see you there!

The 2018 Spring Semester is here at Butler University and Climbing Club is ready for it!

After a brief hiatus and a change of leadership, Climbing Club is active again and running smoother than ever. Working with the local climbing gym Hoosier Heights, we have been able to bargain a special deal for members of the club. With free shoe rentals on climbing dates and a full access to the gym. 

Right now, we are looking forward to our first meeting as a club and following that, our first outing to the gym to get our members on the wall. Potential members that are looking to join are welcome to come to our meeting on Thursday, Feb 1 at 5:45 in room 106B the Pharmacy Building or you can contact any of our officers who will be happy to give you information.

We are currently planning for trips to take outdoors in the spring, working with an experienced climber from the gym.

Hope we will see you around this semester!

We recently took some club members to experience outdoor climbing for the first time, we all had a blast and can not wait to go again!

Nov. 1-2 the climbing club will be guiding 12-15 outdoorsmen and women to the Via ferrata at the Red River Gorge in Kentucky. Repelling and Rock climbing will take place all day on Saturday, as we arrive Friday night. Beginner rock climbers to experts are welcome to join. If interested, contact club vice president Susie Cox at sdcox@butler.edu. Spots fill up fast for this adventure outing… so hurry and reserve a spot!!

Welcome to the official Butler Climbing Club website. As an official club sport at Butler University, we supply an outlet for outdoor adventurers. Members of our club climb practice at Climb Time Indy, a local Indianapolis climbing gym. In the past we have sponsored overnight climbs at the gym, trips to Muscatatuck State Park in Indiana, and an annual climbing trip to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky. Check out the pictures below from past climbing trips. Go Dawgs!
