Improving at rock climbing has always seemed like a two-sided challenge. On one side, there's training with hangboards, metrics, and progressions; on the other, there's climbing practice.

At Vertical Ascents, we’ve always understood that climbing itself is the best training for climbing, and we’ve developed our coaching program from this perspective.

Of course, we still do some hangboarding, but rather than starting from there, we begin with a focus on movement.

Our program will give you the tools and decision-making skills to take charge of your training and practice, preparing you for a lifetime of climbing.
