About the Park
How to Climb
Check-in at the ASI Poly Escapes Rental Center each time you climb or boulder. Cal Poly students and Recreation Center members climb for free! Visitors must check-in at the Cal Poly Recreation Center Membership Services desk to obtain a guest pass.
Belay Classes
Learn how to safely facilitate top rope climbing for yourself and friends with a belay class at the ASI Poly Escapes Climbing Park! The cost is $15 per class. All equipment provided. Check-in at the Poly Escapes Rental Center and wear pants or shorts that allow you to comfortably wear a harness.
Equipment
We provide the guidance and the gear! At the Poly Escapes Rental Center, you’ll receive a climbing harness, climbing shoes, and a wristband for your climbing session. To avoid fees, return any gear to the rental center on the same day of your visit.
Training & Certifications
Register for one of our quarterly belay qualification courses.
Inclement Weather
The Climbing Park is closed during rainy/wet weather due to safety. The park will reopen once the climbing holds are dry.
