High Altitude Fitness is stoked for the start of summer (outdoor climbing!) as we continue to work towards our goals for developing a fully operational Climbing Team by the fall.  Currently, we have some young climbers who have already been working towards the goals involved with competitive climbing.  Stefan Fellner, James Olson, Molly Racich, Tori Findlen and Anne Schrage got their first taste of competitive climbing at the local climbing competition at Rocksport in Reno in late March.  Since then, HAF coaches have been focusing our practices on the mental preparation and physical endurance required for success in climbing competitions. Our next goal is to prepare and train for the start of the American Boulder Series (ABS) in the fall.

We were lucky enough to have Stefan, James and Molly represent our gym and compete in the Northwestern Regional Competition at City Beach Rock Club in Fremont this past Sunday.

They were all able to onsight* their two qualifier routes in order to climb in the final round!  Congrats guys!

Because Stefan placed 8^th in the top of his age bracket,he has qualified to compete in Divisionals in Portland on June 9^th!  High Altitude will be holding a raffle to raise money to offset the cost of his travels for his family.  Members can enter a raffle to win a FREE month plus a personal training session with Paul, or a raffle to win a set of Black Diamond quickdraws!

Winners drawn the week of June 4th will be announced on our website and Facebook on June 6th.  You must bring your corresponding numbered raffle ticket into the gym to claim your prize – have until June 13th to do so!

Thanks for your support and participation as we work towards a successful High Altitude climbing team that will be the first and foremost in representing the climbers and community of the Lake Tahoe Basin!

Thank you for your interest and participation in High Altitude Fitness’ After School Kids Club!

In order to provide a more nurturing, fine-tuned learning environment for our increasing enrollment, our current sessions will offer a smaller student-instructor ratio in classes of 8 children or less. We will also be providing different classes designed for differing experience and ability levels.
Each session includes a month-long membership; children can come climb in the gym outside club times to climb, provided they have adult supervision.

Our kids club is an ongoing monthly program.

Sign Up

If your child is interested and you plan on signing up for additional sessions, look into our Kids Club EFT membership for discounted monthly rates.

Kids programming will be organized as follows:

Junior Climbing Club (ages 5 – 7)
Climbing Club (ages 7-10)
Junior Club and Climbing Club each meet once a week, a total of four times a month. These are times for younger children in their appropriate age groups to receive supervised climbing time, including fun and engaging games and climbing-focused activities. Transportation from Incline Elementary to High Altitude can be provided, depending on the day, by school staff or H.A.F. staff.

Intermediate Club (general ages 8-12)
Advanced Club (general ages 10-16)
As climbers in the Junior Club and Club progress in skill, demonstrate they have learned the basic skills of indoor climbing and display a degree of dedication to the sport of rock climbing, they can move up into our upper tier of programs. Children as well as parents, should understand that the Intermediate and Advanced clubs are practice sessions focused on learning skills and skill set progression; classes involve less climbing time and more instruction-based interaction.
These clubs will meet twice a week, and kids will have the benefit of their own H.A.F. membership for the time they are enrolled.

Private Instruction
For the the children who need one-on-one time to work through a specific issue or for those wanting to learn how to push their ability limits, private, one hour long sessions can be the key to hone technique and movement. Contact H.A.F. to set a time and date.

Kids Club EFT Membership
If your child plans on participating in our programs month after month, the Kids Club EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) membership is perfect for you. Your little climber will have all the benefits of normal enrollment at a discounted, reoccurring, rate (two month commitment).
