Edwards Field House

Climbing at the Edwards Field House

The Edwards Field House on Miller Ranch Road is one of Mountain Recreation's two indoor climbing venues in the Eagle Valley; the district was known as WECMRD until 2018. The building reopened in December 2025 after a $1.2 million renovation, and brand-new climbing walls followed in summer 2026. They offer three distinct climbing areas:

• 13 top-rope routes on walls from 13ft 2in up to 32ft high
• Two auto-belay lanes for climbing without a partner
• A separate bouldering wall

Getting on the wall

The walls are open to day visitors and members during the building's normal hours. To use the ropes you first need to pass Mountain Recreation's top-rope belay test, and the auto-belays need a free check-off; children aged 8 to 13 can use them only with a parent who has passed it too. Both are run on set evenings, with a $10 belay clinic beforehand for newcomers, and must be booked by 16:00 on the day.

Prices and the rest of the building

Adult day admission is $13 and an annual Field House membership costs $109, with cheaper youth, senior and family rates. Admission also covers the maplewood courts and the 15,000 sq ft indoor turf field, and the building has a gymnastics centre with a ninja course, an e-sports room and community rooms. Children under 8 must come with a paying guest aged 13 or over. The district also runs afterschool climbing series for children and outdoor climbing courses.
