The Gunnison Valley offers ideal training grounds for Western’s climbing team. With excellent locations for bouldering, sport climbing, and traditional climbing just minutes from campus, athletes can hone their skills and work together to support one another’s goals. The team practices regularly during the week and competes on USA Climbing’s collegiate circuit.
The climbing team fosters an incredible sense of camaraderie and community where team members can chase improvement and accomplishment at any level of the sport. Along with local training and competition travel, the team also takes several trips to other Colorado areas, as well as to Utah and New Mexico.
