Our goal is to make this epic sport accessible to all.” The 65-foot climbing wall was in large part funded by a $200,000 Utah Outdoor Recreation Grant from the Department of Natural Resources Division of Outdoor Recreation. It will have holds and paths for a variety of abilities. Visitors will have the opportunity to use auto belay, top rope, or lead climbing, or race their friends to the top of the 55-foot area of the wall designed for speed climbing. Millcreek will not only have the largest outdoor climbing wall in Utah, but also be the first city hall to have a climbing wall on the outside of the building.
