- The '''ARC climbing wall''' is mostly student operated and managed. At any given time, the wall employs around ten to fifteen students, who monitor the wall, teach belay classes, and set routes. The wall works in close association with ["OA"], so if people are interested in climbing both outdoors and indoors, the ARC wall tends to be a good place to meet people involved in the OA rock climbing program. The climbing wall generally has a less intense (read: not so ["Meat Market"]esque) atmosphere than the rest of the ARC, drawing more people who just want to have fun. Also, climbing at the ARC is a legal, complementary, and weather-independent alternative to ["Buildering"].	+ The '''ARC Climbing Wall''' is student operated and managed.

- All who have access to the ARC have access to the climbing wall. It does cost money to use the wall, but the cost is low when compared to every other climbing gym in California (for example: ["Rocknasium"] charges students a $32 monthly membership charge, and [http://touchstoneclimbing.com/sp.html Pipeworks] in Sacramento charges $60/month in addition to a $100 initiation fee). The annual fee at the ARC wall is $25, and the daily fee, for those who don't purchase an annual pass, is $5. Payments are taken at the front desk. Also, when buying an annual pass, the fee can be pro-rated to the end of June, so most end up paying less than $25.	+ All who have access to the ARC have access to the climbing wall.

- In addition to Cow Crank, the wall intermittently hosts informal bouldering competitions about once a quarter that are advertised by word of mouth.

- The ARC Climbing Wall is a fairly recently built structure, constructed in 2004/2005. It opened in 2005 and replaced the older climbing wall that existed in the ["Rec Hall"]. The original climbing wall was built in the early nineties and managed by ["Outdoor Adventures"] (OA). Some time in the mid-nineties, management shifted, and instead the Rec Hall itself gained control. Two years after the opening of the new climbing wall, OA again took over management of the climbing wall, partially because of the merging of many departments into ["Campus Recreation"]. The new wall, unlike many indoor climbing facilities was meticulously sculpted by hand and is composed primarily of fiberglass spread over a complex 3-dimensional matrix, which makes the wall highly featured. It was constructed by the company Entre Prises [http://www.epusa.com/]	+ The ARC Climbing Wall is a fairly recently-built structure, constructed in 2004/2005.

- The biggest event at the climbing wall is the annual competition, ["Cow Crank"], which has been a tradition for many years. This year (2008), the competition will be a top-rope and bouldering comp. Cow Crank will be April 26 from 11AM to 5PM. The entry fee into the competition is $15. There are many prizes offered to those who place and those who do not. Afterwards from 5:30 to 6:30 at the ARC, Justen Sjong will be giving a presentation on big wall free climbing, describing his ascents and strategies in Yosemite and around the world. Cow Crank is always open to the public, and generally draws a fair amount of climbers from around the region.	+ The biggest event at the climbing wall is the annual competition, ["Cow Crank"], which has been a tradition for many years.
