Open Door Program
The Open Door Program is a tool for growing and serving the climbing community across all demographics. This program is a community wide effort to make climbing accessible and to cultivate a climbing community that reflects the diversity of the geographic regions we serve. We feel that is best accomplished through reducing as many barriers to climbing as possible, one of those being financial.
Offering a program like this requires the entire community to believe in it for it to be sustainable. This belief includes honesty and trust about true financial need. Additionally, the ability to offer this program is limited and depends on community supporters (Door Openers). We can’t do it without you.
523 Open Door Members
41 Door Openers
$1 For Access
Dollar for Access is our in-house initiative to help provide and preserve access to climbing (both indoors and out) for all.

🤔💭WHY TBD TAGS💭🤔
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
-DISCOVERY is an exciting piece to climbing. Tags and grades can be a heavy influence to limiting your chances of finding more and create SLB’s (self limiting beliefs).
-CONSENSUS on grades can be quite challenging. Body types, sizes, strength and mentality can affect the individual experience making things subjective. Time the setters get for each installment and testing also plays a factor.
- APPEAL to a climb that you are drawn to because of something about the climb, not the grade, and then later finding out it was on one you would have never tried because of a label.
::HOW IT WILL WORK::
Each week’s new set will have everything V3 and above tagged TBD. All climbs V2 and below will be labeled with a grade. When the setting team comes in the following week the TBD tags will be removed and replaced with a graded tag. Enjoy!
