Rock Climbing
The Gypsum Recreation Center and Edwards Field House are home to some of the best indoor rock climbing in Eagle County. Both facilities feature a large climbing wall and separate bouldering wall. After completing a Mountain Recreation belay certification, both climbing walls are available to guests during normal facility operating hours. Standard facility admission fees apply, or are included with your membership.

This program, led by CFL President, Tom Willard will provide an amazing opportunity for youth ages 14-18 to experience the thrills of ice climbing in our own backyard (East Vail).
