Climb Academy

New this fall at High Steppe! We have redesigned our youth climbing classes into a progression pathway that allows participants to climb with peers in a supportive environment focused on skill development and becoming independent climbers in the gym setting. 

 
Classes and Schedule
This class is a nine-week session and runs Fall, Winter and Spring. Classes are one-hour long on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:30-5:30. 
 
Fall Session 2026 begins October 5. 
Winter Session 2027 begins January 4.
Spring Session 2027 begins March 22.
 
 
Participants Ages, Ability Levels
HSCC's Climb Academy is designed for ages 5-14 and welcomes climbers of all ability levels, from first-timers to advanced climbers. Using a 9-level progression series, coaches will evaluate incoming participants and assign them to the level that suits their abilities. The first four levels are coached during Climb Academy. Anyone who is assesed to be above level 4 will be promoted to our Climbing Club or Comp Team.
 
Level 1: Discover
Basics - Start your climbing adventure. This level is perfect for newer climbers. We focus on safety, building a growth mindset, and key foundational skills.
 
Level 2: Explore
Technical Introduction - Learn to complete boulders according to the "rules of the game". We'll introduce technical skills and start building stamina.
 
Level 3: Progress
Dynamic Movement - At this point training becomes tactical. We introduce active body momentum, route planning, and specialized techniques.
 
Level 4: Send
Learning to Train - Our lessons will shift toward technical refinement, movement efficiency, physical stamina, and athletic self-reliance.
