Access to Climbing
About the Access to Climbing Program
In our journey towards broader equity and inclusion in climbing, we’re working to make our gyms more accessible to all through training, programming, and financial assistance. As part of that work, we’d like to introduce our Access to Climbing program. This program provides discounts for low-income individuals and families.
Customers on these programs may show their California EBT or Medi-Cal/BIC cards with their photo ID at the front desk. Please note that discounts for certain programs such as Youth Climbing Camps, may require further information.
