COP Climbing Wall
The COP climbing wall is definitely a unique place! Come on down and check it out! Our climbing wall is 16' x 20' on the inside with a 32' high climbing surface for a total of over 2,000 sq ft of climbing surface area. There are 16 ropes on the inside and 4 more ropes on the outside. The climbing routes vary from easy to difficult and include roof and overhang sections.
The cost to attend a climbing session at the COP wall is $7, which helps to cover its maintenance costs. All equipment for climbing, including shoes and harnesses, is available at no extra charge. We also offer an annual pass to COP members for $175.
The wall is remotely located behind a farm field in the woods. Power for lighting and heating is supplied by a generator. When visiting the wall, please keep in mind that the driveway to the wall can be very muddy in the spring and winter. Please, do NOT drive all the way back to the wall when the ground is wet, but park closer to the road.
