The First Ascent Climbing Team is an intensive, highly-awarded program for young athletes looking to take their climbing to the next level in the USA Climbing Youth Competition series.

 

 

At First Ascent, we believe that young athletes are champions on and off the wall. As an elite program, we focus on individual growth through training, competition, and challenges. While there are only three spots on a podium, there are countless ways to become a better you.
