A 4-week course introducing new climbers to indoor climbing. Covers technique, lingo, bouldering, top-roping, belaying, and training. Designed for beginners to build confidence, have fun, stay safe, and make friends while learning the sport.

ASCEND Climbing Training (ACT) is a members-only training program centered around becoming a better climber! These sessions are led by ASCEND's highly experienced climbing instructors. Topics are targeted each week, and applicable to all levels of climbing experience. You do not need to attend every week! Each week offers a unique opportunity, program, or method for improving your climbing practices.

ACT is not a replacement for personal training or private one-on-one instruction. Think of it like an adult team, of sorts, where individual ambitions can be bolstered via a group format.

ASCEND is happy to partner with ParaCliffHangers to host regular adaptive climbing sessions for our community members. These sessions are participant driven with volunteers often available for support. Our adaptive climbing representatives can offer numerous accommodations such as a Mechanical Advantage System, side climbing, auditory support and more. We'll work together to make climbing as accessible and enjoyable as possible.
