Discover the challenge, fun and excitement of rock climbing. LVAC boasts a climbing wall and bouldering cave made with the Freeform system from Entre Prise. Freeform is hand shaped to give you the finest real rock look and texture available on the market today. LVAC’s climbing wall and cave provide the very best terrain for beginners and experts alike. LVAC offers crack climbing, roofs, dihedrals, arêtes, slab and endurance routes.
All climbers are welcome at the Lakeview Athletic Club climbing wall and bouldering cave. We are open to both club members and non-members. Non-members may purchase a day pass for full acees to the club and climbing facilities. Experienced climbers can get belay certified (certification tests offered during supervised climb times) and climb during all club hours. If you don't have a climbing partner you can come during our supervised time where a staff member is available to introduce you to our community, offer belays and conduct certification tests for experiences climbers. Those who have not been belay certified will need to come during our complimentary climb. LVAC also offers a full range of climbing classes for ages 5 and up. Children ages 5-10 can climb during family climb, provided that a parent with that child is certified or the child has participated in one of our climbing classes.
LVAC also offers wall rentals for your part or event. Team building events are also available.
SUPERVISED CLIMB
LVAC certified climbers or current class participants may climb during this time. Staff is on duty to provide assistance with belaying. (Certified climbers under 18 may climb until 6:00 pm)

COMPLIMENTARY CLIMB*
All members and guests (who have a complimentary pass or who have purchased a day visit) can climb during this time for free.
