Sound familiar?

On your own, it's hard to know what to work on.

Whether you're brand new or you've been climbing for a while, it's easy to get stuck:

  • "I don't know where to start, or how to fall safely."
  • "I keep falling off the same move and can't tell why."
  • "I've hit a plateau, and pulling harder isn't getting me past it."

You don't have to figure it out alone. Our classes give you a clear next step, from your very first climb to the plateau you've been stuck on.

Why take a class?

Progress you can feel.

Most climbers reach a point where strength alone stops working. A little coaching on footwork, body position and reading problems goes a long way, and it's more fun learning with a group.

  • Learn the basics to climb on your own
  • Place your feet precisely so your arms last longer
  • Read the sequence before you pull on
  • Meet climbers at your level

Keep the momentum going after class. Every membership includes unlimited climbing at Bloc Garten, Chambers and Vertical Adventures.
