FAQs
Who is invited?
Utah Tech alumni, including those from the Dixie College and Dixie State eras, are welcome to attend this exclusive event along with their guests.
Are there age restrictions?
While the facility itself doesn’t have a formal age restriction, this event is intended for alumni and guests ages 8 and up to ensure the best experience for all attendees.
Where is the climbing wall, and where do I park?
The indoor climbing wall is located inside the Human Performance Center (HPC) at Utah Tech University. You may park in Lot M or on a nearby city street. Since the event takes place after hours, you may park in any white, green, or yellow stall on campus. Enter the HPC building from either the west or east entrance, then take the elevator or stairs down to the first floor.
Does this cost anything?
No, there is no cost to attend. The registration form includes an option to make a donation if you’d like to support the Alumni Association, but it’s completely optional.
How do I reserve a climbing time during the event?
Use the registration link below to sign up. We’re limiting each time block to about 20–25 people to ensure everyone has time on the wall. Three time slots are available: 5–6 PM, 6–7 PM, and 7–8 PM. Please sign up for only one time slot.
What equipment do I need to bring, or what is included?
The HPC provides climbing shoes and harnesses for use. Youth sizes are limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis during each time slot. We also recommend bringing your own water bottle.
What is there to do at the climbing wall?
The climbing wall offers bouldering, top rope, lead, and speed climbing.
- There are five auto-belays, allowing you to climb every sport route on the wall without a belay partner.
- There will be staff on site that are belay certified and happy to belay you on any roped climb.
- Bouldering is a great solo option that doesn’t require ropes or a partner.
Is any climbing wall experience required?
No experience is necessary. The wall offers a range of routes for all skill levels — from beginner to expert — so everyone can participate comfortably.
Are other HPC amenities open during the alumni night?
Only the climbing wall is reserved for our group. Other amenities — like the pool, gym, and courts will not be available to alumni or guests unless they are current students, faculty, or staff.
