History of The Climbing Center

The Climbing Center was formed in 1997, the first in the area and one of the few in the south at that time. Shortly thereafter, the High School Climbing League was formed, the first in the nation! At the time, climbing was not a “letter sport” so it operated as a club with support from a sponsor. Climbing programs in our area have really grown! Today 15 – 20 high schools are involved with over 250 participants! Many of these young climbers have gone on to become excellent climbers competing successfully in regional and national climbing competitions.
