Unsure?

If your answers fall between both teams, sign up for the higher-level tryout. Coaches can always recommend placement on the team that best supports the athlete's long-term development.

Note: Tryout registration does not guarantee placement on a specific team. Final team assignments are made by the coaching staff based on movement quality, coachability, physical readiness, and overall fit—not climbing grades alone.

Free for all athletes registered for the tryout.

We recommend you park on the top floor of the parking garage shown below. Once you head into the building, you'll find yourself at our front door! 

From the ground level, you can also take the elevator up to the third floor to get to the climbing gym.
