Helping Everyone Climb

Young people need activities that foster a love of sport and build self-confidence. Their developing brains crave puzzles and challenges. Rock climbing provides a great mix of mental challenges and physical puzzles.

Summer Camp

Climbing Classes and Events

These are single-session classes and events for youth and their families. Perfect for beginners or experienced climbers, these hands-on sessions offer a great way to learn, bond, and challenge yourself together in a fun and supportive environment.

Our Community Makes a Difference πŸ’™πŸ§—β€β™‚οΈ

As we share this Giving Tuesday message from @accessfund , we want to highlight what youβ€”our communityβ€”have already done.

Through our $1 for Access initiative, climbers at our gyms have contributed $7,694 in 2025 alone, and since starting the program in 2014, together we’ve donated over $142,000 to protect climbing access across the country.

Thank you for helping keep the places we love to climb open and cared for. Let’s continue that impact this Giving Tuesday.
