Mission & Philosophy
Our mission is to bring motivated youth and young-adult athletes to the best rock on earth; to give them the opportunity, resources, mentorship, and motivation to succeed and be safe; to teach them about our Earth, its inhabitants, fragility, and finite nature; and to help with the task of developing impassioned, aware, and responsible adults.
SAFETY & RISK MANAGEMENT
The primary focus of alpha climbing’s risk management strategy is to create opportunities for performance through consistency and by avoiding unnecessary risk. Caring for the health and well being of our athletes is a given, as this should be the overwhelming agenda of any organization providing service to youth.
TRIP LOGISTICS & Planning
The details involved with planning an rock climbing trip for youth can range from simple to complex. We have more experience than anyone else in running international tours for young climbers, and go to great lengths to make sure all athletes and staff get home safely.
PRICING & PAYMENT
The cost of alpha climbing trips is built around our actual operating expenses. We’re attempting to provide a needed service as affordably as possible. We’re very flexible in how and when we accept payments. We’ll work with you one-on-one to make this experience possible.
CLIMBING & ATHLETICS
alpha climbing trips offer sport climbing and bouldering on natural rock. Our programs are designed for young climbers aged 11-23 with an athletic background. Our trips are built around the goal to perform. As coaches, we introduce strategy to help our athletes find their potential. We encourage movement and body awareness as a method to be healthy and active for life.
Behavioral Expectations
We expect our athletes to show up prepared to try hard. Respect for each other and the places we visit is a must. This includes being aware of local traditions, laws, and other cultural differences. As staff we’re coaches and mentors, not disciplinarians. We lead by example in hopes to foster a greater sense of learning. Performing as an athlete demands just as much effort off the rock as it does during the attempt.
ETHICS & RESPONSIBILITY
As an organization dedicated to serving youth, alpha climbing shares the responsibility of fostering positive adolescent development of the future stewards of our planet. It is our ethical obligation to take care of the earth and its inhabitants. We strive to minimize our environmental impact while nurturing the next generation of leaders and problem solvers, providing them valuable lessons about what it means to be a human being.
