The Telluride Indoor Climbing Gym opens its doors on Sunday, November 29 for the winter climbing season. The gym will remain open through Sunday, April 3, 2016, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays (excluding Christmas Eve and New Years Eve).

The climbing gym is located in the Telluride High School. To enter the gym, use the Palm Theater doors and then use the double doors on your left.

The gym provides local and aspiring climbers an opportunity to work on skills during the winter months. The climbing gym is also a great way to meet new people and connect with climbing partners. Additionally, the venue is perfect opportunity for locals to get into the sport of climbing and stay active during the week.

The climbing gym has ropes, but climbers need to bring all their own personal equipment.

All users of the gym will need to sign liability releases and register either in advance or when they arrive at the gym.
