Team Ciba Mission

Our mission is to develop a local community of competitive climbers through a controlled environment and technical assistance, thus providing an enjoyable atmosphere to engage, grow and achieve personal goals through the sport of climbing.

Team B

This is our introductory level team for ages 7 to 12 years old. The Team B is designed to prepare participants for the competition team and becoming better climbers. This team will allow participants to explore freely and establish a base level of climbing strength. This is ideal for any new or young climber that would like to focus on becoming well-rounded with technique, terminology, strength and mental training that will be necessary in their continued climbing success. The training will consist of foot and hand technique, instruction in body position and basic approach to climbing, all while having fun and reaching a higher level of physical fitness. The goal of this team is to nurture sincere love and passion for the sport of climbing.

Team A

These teams prepare the youth to compete in the USA Climbing Region 32. This region covers Southern California and Arizona. Ciba Team had been privilege to reach both Regional and Divisional competitions.

The competition team emphasis will be placed on the process of familiarizing participants with more advanced training and competitions preparation. The training will be more in depth and will include body weight exercises. It will focus on finger strength and core strength as these are the most vital component of a climber's body. Effective problem solving and route reading technique will be another aspect that we will be stressed to the climbers. This will help the climbers with some formats of competition climbing. Team members will gain greater technical skills and learn to set and obtain goals strategically.
