The mission of the Outdoor Education Center is to not only to provide the UAF Campus community with fun recreation opportunities right here on campus but to inspire the campus to lead our active lifestyle with our passion for the outdoors and knowledge in the field of outdoor education.   We do this through our open hours, our instructional clinics, and innovative programming at our outdoor climbing tower, indoor climbing wall, nanook terrain park, and disc golf course.

Lead Climbing:

Interested in taking your climbing to another level? Join outdoor adventures as we instruct you in the skill of lead climbing.

We will also go over the basics of reading a guide book and route selection for when you take your skills to the real rock. Lead climbing is an advanced skill and because of that we require that all participants have completed the climbing wall orientation prior to enrollment in this class.
