USA Climbing’s ultimate goal is the success and growth of climbing for youth. They are the national governing body of competition climbing in the United States. With the Olympic committee acknowledging climbing as a contender for the 2020 games it has brought a serge of effort in all governing bodies of climbing to make the sport better than ever.
The Vertical World has created a team that has become a national powerhouse in youth climbing. Lead by Head Coach Tyson Schoene, many of its competitors have qualified for Youth World Championships. “There are only a handful of climbing gyms in the country that have a program like this one,” said Schoene, “and the Vertical World is proud to have such an amazing team.”
Vertical World – America’s First Climbing Gym® provides a unique training facility and specialized programs for youth and adults within the Puget Sound community. They opened the very first rock climbing gym in America in 1987 on Elliott Ave in Seattle. The gym was no more than rocks glued to painted plywood panels.
