YOUTH TEAMS

Climbing is a Path.

Our teams help youth develop as climbers, athletes, and humans. We foster growth through goal setting, critical thinking, and building confidence and resilience through a competitive platform.

Our youth teams are centered around athlete improvement and skill building. We practice year-round and team kids have the opportunity to compete in bouldering, ropes, and speed climbing.

Open for ages 7+.
