The mission of the Fairbanks Youth Climbing Program is to introduce and cultivate rock climbing skills, techniques, and movement to Fairbanks youth. The purpose of this mission is to enhance teamwork, communication, and confidence and our teaching methods nurture this purpose.
​The Fairbanks Flash Youth Climbing Team gives climbers the chance to hone their skills and knowledge through bouldering, top-roping, and leading/mock-leading. Practices are aimed at teaching each climber intermediate and advanced skills and technique. Expect an atmosphere of dedicated and supportive climbers who commit to exercises and conditioning with each practice. The coach is a highly knowledgeable and experienced climber who is devoted to his students and assists each athlete to prevent injury, maximize climbing time, pinpoint strengths and weaknesses, motivate, inspire, and promote a healthy team environment.
Space is limited to 10 students.
Minimum age:
- 10-years-old
Coach:
- Sam Braband
