The Elite Team is a select team of hard-working and passionate climbers. Climbers on this team are expected to have an advanced grasp of technical skills while also displaying coachability, enthusiasm, and a strong desire for growth. Elite Team members are highly self-motivated and self-disciplined.
Team members train intensely to improve overall fitness, expand their technical skillset, and build a strong understanding of movement. At the same time, team members develop competition strategy, hone their route reading abilities, and finely tune an effective competition mindset. Members of this team who demonstrate high levels of self-awareness and motivation are able to develop greater individualization in their training programs, with the collaboration of their coaches, to best meet their goals. With the help of their coaches and a structured training regimen, climbers will see significant progress in their climbing ability.
Admission to the Elite Team is by invitation only. Try-outs are typically held annually between June-August. For consideration mid-year, please fill out this Interest Form. You can also email ManhattanComp@centralrockgym.com for more information.
