Competition Training Camp 2025

The Steel Town Throw Down is ASCEND's recurring competition format that features everything from entry level fun to high end competition. This training camp is a 5 week program designed to prepare you to climb your best. These sessions are great for beginner or intermediate climbers who would like to learn more about competition climbing, practice comp formats, train specifically for peak progression and potentially compete in the upcoming Steel Town Throw Down comp on Dec. 12/13th at ASCEND South Side. Even if you don't participate in the bouldering comp, this program will raise your knowledge of climbing styles, be super fun and get you in amazing shape. Experienced ASCEND coaches will curate and lead sessions with the following themes:

• Proper climbing warm ups
• Comp fundamentals, strategies, and rules
• Progressive drills and training recommendations
• Beta and route reading

The Steel Town Throw Down will occur the Friday/Saturday after this Training Camp finishes if you are interested in competing!
