Elite

Team ABC Boulder Elite is a competitive climbing team consisting of world renowned athletes working together to produce great results. These talented and hard-working individuals focus on honing flexibility, core strength, finger strength, body-awareness, mental preparation and injury prevention in order to perform at a high level both at competitions and outside on rock.

Repetition, refinement, and mastery of acquired skills provide these athletes the opportunity to excel at the highest level. Team ABC Elite climbers have a high climbing IQ and are the leaders of our program; each athlete understands the importance of mentorship and how to be a Team ABC ambassador to younger climbers, to Team ABC sponsors and to the sport of climbing.

Elite team athletes are required to commit to the USA Climbing annual season by competing in both Bouldering (Sep-Feb) and Sport/Speed season (Mar-Jul): a minimum of two locals and one Regionals competition, and should they qualify, potentially travel to Divisionals and Nationals. Age-eligible Elite team athletes also have the option of pursuing Open-level competitions throughout the year and may even compete Internationally. In addition to traveling to competition, our Elite team is required to attend Team ABC’s Regional, Divisionals, and National training camps.

Outside of competition, the sky’s the limit as far as outdoor climbing goes. Elite team athletes have the opportunity to travel to world class climbing venues from the Front Range to Rifle, Hueco Tanks, Spain, France and beyond…

Elite team athletes are required to commit to the 2022/2023 USA Climbing Season. Team members commit to climbing as a team from August 22nd to the middle of July, and also commit to a Nationals travel training camp at the beginning of July.

Coaches: Ryan Arment, Ilias Hosain, Claire Gordon (January 2023)
