SLV Cliffhangers Climbing Team
SLV Cliffhangers Climbing Club & Team
SLV Cliffhangers is San Luis Valley’s local youth climbing program, giving middle and high school students of all experience levels the chance to scale new heights. Whether your child has never touched a climbing wall or is a seasoned athlete ready to compete regionally, Cliffhangers offers a safe, supportive environment to build physical strength, problem-solving skills, and lifelong confidence. The Club and Team are open to all middle school and high school students in the San Luis Valley.
We offer two tracks so every climber can participate at their own pace:
- Recreation / Club Track (Free): Open to all local middle and high schoolers who want to learn how to climb, make friends, and stay active in a non-competitive setting. No cost to join, and all necessary gear (shoes and harnesses) is provided!
- Competitive Track (~$200/year): For youth who want to take their skills to the next level through structured training and regional competition. Dues directly cover competition registration fees; gear is provided as needed. Competitions are held at various climbing gyms in Colorado Springs; transportation for competitors will be provided to 4 regular season competitions and Regionals.
