Q: What inspired you to start Climbing Guam?

A: My partners and I realized the vast potential for the sport of climbing in Guam after the recent Tokyo 2020 Olympics, where climbing debuted. Climbing has quickly grown in popularity for its dynamic movement, complex problem solving, and strength aspects. The sport offers endless opportunities for progression and leaves room for creativity played out in movement! We can’t think of a better sport to bring to Guam’s fitness community.

Q. What is your mission?

A. Our mission is to promote the sport of climbing in Guam and throughout Micronesia.

Q. Tell us more about what you offer

A. We offer a type of climbing called bouldering. Bouldering involves climbing up routes called “problems'’ and each one is as unique as a fingerprint. Problems require technique, creative solutions, and strength in order to climb.

Q. How can we book a session of climbing?

A. For those of you wanting to experience bouldering for the first time I recommend our “Intro to Bouldering Classes” that we hold weekly. Intro classes include shoe and chalk rentals, and include an hour long session with an instructor. After the course, you have access to the gym for the remainder of the day. We also offer group classes and events. If you feel like jumping in without *formal instruction, we also have walk-in day passes available for purchase.

Q. Anything your team is excited about right now?

A. We have already seen climbing explode onto the scene in Guam and are excited for the opportunity to expand our climbing wall in the upcoming months. This will expand the current climbing space by almost 3X and we will be able to provide further coaching opportunities for tenacious climbers.

Q. What’s your wellness motto?

A. Our gym's motto is “From the Ground Up”. We believe in building community and building strength from humble beginnings. And look forward to incredible lifelong journeys of fitness and fun!
