THE STRONGHOLD DEV TEAM @ EP
The Stronghold Development Team is a bouldering-only intermediate team for ages 9-17 at The Stronghold Echo Park. It is a structured program offering climbing technique instruction, group climbing activities, and on-wall and off-wall strength training. It is non-competitive and aimed at those who are highly motivated and want to climb in a rigorous and fun team environment, or who want to transition into competitive climbing. Tryouts are held on a rolling basis. Some climbing experience is required–the Development Team is not a recommended starting point for a brand new climber.
If your child is interested in trying out for the Development Team, please fill out our intake form.
