Dear Climber,
The Open Door Program keeps climbing accessible for over 400 community members — and just last month, 5.Life provided $12,378.87 in financial assistance.
This November, we’re asking our community to help sustain this impact.
Become a Door Opener with a $60 one-time gift or $7/month, and receive an exclusive t-shirt as a thank-you.

Here’s what your support makes possible:
“Climbing has introduced me to new faces, new places, and memories I wouldn’t have without the Open Door program. It’s become a big part of my life.”
— Ali, Open Door Member

🇺🇸 Shop Local. Support American-Made.
This month, each of our gyms is highlighting awesome products made right here in the USA!
First up: @organicclimbing , located in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania.
Established by Josh Helke, Organic is a small business about craftsmanship, community, and sustainability. Their entire production shop is solar powered—they like to say every product is "solar sewn."
Many of the Organic team are also part of the 5.Life climbing community, making it a true climber-owned and operated business.
We had the privilege of visiting their shop just last week—seeing the care and passion behind every piece was inspiring!
Check out Organic gear next time you`re at the gym. Stay tuned for more Made in America spotlights all month long.
