Some nice slab - downclimb is a little scary. Some of the rock may be a little crumbly, so take your time. All 3 slabs are approximately the same grade.

Stairway to Heaven

North Star

Bridge to Terabithia

Glow Dome

Ben's Buildering Bridge

Kumler Korner

Tight in the Corner

Start on the column (Western Dining Commons side of the bridge) one to the left of the column with the lamp-post on it. Traverse right over that arch, then up the lamp-post column. Most likely need to swing your feet between the two columns. CONCRETE IS OUT (besides the top out at the base of the lamp-post).

Climb up the column of the bridge with the lamp-post on top. The concrete slabs are NOT in. A little taller than "Ben's Buildering Bridge," but similar holds and climbing. Top out once you get to the base of the lamp-post (that concrete is in).

Highball boulder. Go up either of the two columns. Careful near the top, the holds get a little smaller. Very similar to "North Star," just taller.

Arguably the best buildering at Miami. Top-out is super safe and easy, with big concrete blocks to grab. Grass is soft and not far if you fall. Go up any of the columns between the arches. Take a moment to feel around and find the best rocks - they are definitely there.

Top-out is simple. Not recommended due to height and down-climb. "It's only unsafe if you fall." Unfortunately, the fall on this one is quite steep. If you risk the climb, you can down-climb the slab next to it for a safer descent.

Up the corner of the art museum onto the roof. Basically all legs - press against both walls to get up and down.

A less busy area to climb. The bridges are great and have lots of potential. Many of these routes may have been climbed before this page was put up in the fall of 2021. If anyone has any information on a previous FA, please comment on the respective boulders page.
