Training

Climbing is a rigorous endeavor and is most rewarding when you are prepared. Taking time to properly train is an important responsibility of each team member. We encourage you to browse these training resources and set aside time to properly prepare for your expedition. 

Make it fun! Don't go it alone.

Grab your friends (even the furry four-legged kind) and hit local trails, stair climbs and tracks. To find ideal hikes and activities in your area check out AllTrails, EveryTrail or Modern Hiker.
