Construction of the USAFA Ropes Course and Climbing Wall is underway! The tower’s structure was designed to complement the angles and feel of the nearby Polaris Hall, while the stacked and triangular structural supports find their inspiration from the angles of the Cadet Chapel.

The tower will have two ‘classroom decks’ to serve as both entry points to the course. Equipped with dynamic and smart belay systems, rappel stations, climbing surfaces, and a zip line, the unique course elements were incorporated into the programming to satisfy the diversity of use by course operators.

The tower is expected to be completed this summer.
