ACT
ASCEND Climbing Training
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.
