About

While the facility includes a climbing wall as part of its rehabilitation and physical therapy programs, it is not widely advertised for general recreational use. The climbing wall offers basic bouldering options and possibly some top-roping elements, designed to aid in the recovery and physical fitness of patients rather than serving as a full climbing gym.
