About ABC
Our Mission: Empowering kids through the sport of climbing
We believe that climbing is an important basic skill for children to learn just like running, jumping and swimming. Where climbing differs from other sports is its unique engagement in self improvement through repetition and problem-solving
ABC Kids Climbing is the world’s first climbing gym designed specifically for youth athletes. With routes set for variance in both age and size we’ve got challenging and engaging boulders for climbers of all levels.

The Raboutou Family
Robyn Erbesfield and Didier Raboutou were both world class climbers and competitors on the International Competition Circuit. They retired from competing, married, and had two children–son Shawn and daughter Brooke. The whole family are avid rock climbers and spend part of each summer in St. Antonin, France. For the rest of the year they live in Boulder, Colorado, where they run ABC Kids climbing and the elite Team ABC Boulder team and take as many trips as possible to places like Hueco Tanks, Texas; Joe’s Valley, Utah; and The Red River Gorge, Kentucky.
