Big congrats to @climb_nittany on the grand reopening today 🎉
New owners, same managers, same climbing community. State College has always had a great crew and it’s really good to see the doors open again with familiar faces behind the desk.
If you’re in Happy Valley, go today. Pancakes and coffee this morning, live music at 2, cider and donuts this afternoon, and a one-day-only set you’ll want to try. Open until 7.
Cheering you on from Columbus.

Name a better way to kick off a new month than with a CLIENT SPOTLIGHT! 🤩
Carrie: Not only was she the very first client to join Lizard Fitness, she’s been CRUSHING her fitness journey ever since. Down 22 lbs of body fat mass and 7% body fat, and her next stop is riding the GAP Trail! 🚴♀️ She brings sass, energy, and hard effort every single time. Can’t stop, won’t stop 💪
Joy: Talk about consistency! She shows up to every session with a smile. She might be a little nervous about what her trainer has planned, but no doubt, she kicks butt every time. Down 4 lbs of body fat mass and UP 3 lbs of muscle. Next stop: nailing that handstand, getting even more shredded and general health! 🤸♀️ Joy is someone who constantly surprises you and doesn’t give herself nearly enough kudos 👏🏾
Shoutout to these two lady crushers! We can’t wait to see where their fitness and climbing journeys take them next. 🧗♀️

Huge thank you to the amazing Team Vertical families who made our meetup at the Red so special 🧡 We couldn’t have done this weekend without you!
For so many of our athletes, this was their very first time climbing outside. Watching them trade plastic holds for real Kentucky sandstone, figure out new movement, and top climbs with huge smiles was something we’ll never forget.
Big thanks to coaches Olivia, Jami, Sam, Matt, and Emma for leading the way and keeping everyone stoked. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

Huge thank you to @sevve.stember and @rockwarriorsway for three incredible clinics! 🙌 Your mental training expertise pushed our climbers to think differently, dig deeper, and build real confidence on the wall. We’re so grateful for your time, energy, and the tools you left us with. Can’t wait to have you back!
