The Goats is our *new team offering* for climbers who are lead climbing or interested in learning to lead climb. This is designed to be a more intensive camp consisting of three longer 10-hour days. This allows us to travel to locations that are a little farther away and spend more time climbing and less time in the week driving and approaching. The goal of this program is to help fully develop athlete's outdoor projecting by limiting the camp to a smaller group of highly motivated climbers. This camp will always be led by one of our team coaches and will directly relate to competition climbing.
This camp only runs for the second half of the summer and on select weeks to align with the USAC competition schedule.
