The Bouldering Club - a climbing community

Who?

The Bouldering Club will be run by Allison and Mike Sharpe. It is our goal and purpose to create a bouldering gym with world-class problems. In our experience, the quality of the bouldering problems is the most essential ingredient and we will strive to make that our number one priority. Secondly, and just as important, is our desire to create a phenomenal climbing community. We want a facility where we can eat, drink and breathe climbing, to discuss past trips and plan for future trips, to swap beta, to learn and grow and mentor, a place to be with friends and chill and enjoy life.

What?

Bouldering is a type of climbing that does not require ropes. Indoor bouldering walls are usually less than Eighteen feet high with a padded landing surface to protect the falling climber. Bouldering routes are referred to as “problems,” because they are physical and technical problems that need to be solved. Bouldering is one of the best ways to become a better and stronger climber and is also a great way to foster important life skills such as problem solving, focus, and success that comes from determination and persistence. The bouldering Club is a bouldering gym and training facility that is centered around the art and science of rock climbing.

Where?

The Bouldering Club is coming soon to beautiful Prescott, Arizona.

When?

Fall 2014.

Why?

Prescott is home to some of the most beautiful granite climbs in the American Southwest and is centered around some of the best desert climbing anywhere in the world. It has everything a climber could want, except a training facility–as the hundreds of climbers who live in the area can attest to. Allison and Mike are building this bouldering gym, because we want to live and climb in this amazing place and it is our great desire to have a climbing facility that nurtures and grows a community of climbers: strong, positive, full of life.
