Get A Grip

As the program progresses basic movement lessons are provided to help each participant improve their technique and build confidence on the wall.  The indoor climbing gym is a great location to learn and practice new skills in a controlled environment. Indoors each participant can progress at their own pace and challenge themselves with a variety of different routes in the gym.

Each week of the program has a different theme to help prepare the participants to better face the challenges that both life and climbing will bring.  Our goal By the end of the program is to have each participant be able to successfully belay, tie a figure 8 follow through knot, and be able to reach the top of  their projects and routes.

In an effort to make the sport more accessible, Elevation Outdoors provides transportation from 3 common meeting points in Kelowna and West Kelowna to make it easier for participants to join us.
