Climbing Clubs

Climbing Clubs are for those who wish to learn the sport of rock climbing as a recreational pursuit or in combination with another sport. As the climber progresses in ability, the amount of climbing-specific coaching increases to allow climbers to progress and achieve their goals. The levels (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3) are separated according to skill with age-based offerings in levels, as enrollment allows.

5.Life Competition Teams continue developing and diversifying the performance toolkit through commitment and ambassadorship to the sport of climbing. The athlete explores the culmination of their efforts through training, work ethic, dedication, and pursuit of result. At this level, we expect to see a mental and physical transition from being “climbers” to becoming “athletes” or “athletes in training”. Practices are more intense and have a strong focus on training, injury prevention, stretching, and conditioning.

These athletes are required to compete in USA Climbing Sanctioned events.
