Let’s Climb Together
Explore bouldering in a social, casual atmosphere in our Let’s Climb Together series. Learning in a small group from a more experienced climber is one of the most fun and authentic ways to engage with bouldering. The assimilation of technical knowledge happens in an organic way, lasting relationships are formed, and the truth about becoming an expert climber is revealed: there is no destination, only an endless joyful journey.

Each Let’s Climb Together session will be unique, based on the interests and abilities of the participants, and you’ll have the opportunity to get personalized feedback on your projects, receive insight about the movement and intention behind specific problems, and appreciate the shared experiences we all have as climbers, regardless of ability level.

Brand new to bouldering and feel like you’re missing something?
Experienced, but stuck on a tricky move?
In the mood for a social session?
Let’s climb together!

This series is free and open to all adults, no membership required. Check the calendar for reservations and complete class schedule, or hop in on a whim during your next session.

Advanced Tactics adds concepts to your mental toolbox on your way to becoming an expert movement analyst.

Each class will focus on a specific technical or mental skill, and help you identify potential areas of improvement. New topics will be added regularly and are visible on the class calendar.
