“Trying bouldering for the first time can feel a little daunting, but everyone was very welcoming and the atmosphere immediately put me at ease.” — Justisia, first-timer

“I’m not strong enough.”

You don’t need to be. Climbing is more about technique than muscle, and your coach shows you how.

Everyone on the mats started where you are. Easy climbs are set just for your first day.

“What do I wear?”

First time climbing and it was so much fun! Huge shout out to YJ, our trainer. She made us feel comfortable right away and taught us really well, even as total beginners.
