Bolder Development Team

Bolder Youth Development Team

If you’re interested in a challenging learning environment but not totally sold on competing in climbing, the development team is the place for you. These athletes will be ambassadors to our brand and will have access to individualized training and instruction, our team of uniquely talented coaches, and Bolder Climbing Collaborators. This team will train all three disciplines of climbing: bouldering, top-rope / lead and speed.  The team will run two days a week from mid September 2025 until May 2026.  All current Bolder athletes are welcome back to team! Anyone new interested in joining will be asked to participate in a mock competition Sept 10th where they will be asked to climb 4-5 boulder problems to show their skills! From there they can be sorted onto our Dev team or moved up to performance or high performance. 

If you are interested in joining please email email programs@bolderclimbing.com
