Red Barn Climbing

Red Barn Climbing is RIT’s very own indoor rock climbing gym located in the Red Barn at the west end of campus. Boasting over 5,000 feet of bouldering terrain, and offering day-passes, semester memberships, and climbing shoe rentals are nominally priced for RIT students. 

Red Barn Climbing is a bouldering-only gym, where climbs are shorter and falls are protected with padding. Climbing routes are set and maintained to accommodate all skill levels, from beginner to expert.
