Adult Team

For climbers who want to grow, sharpen technique, climb smarter, and support each other along the way. Designed for athletes projecting around V3–V7.

The BIB Adult Team follows a 12‑week training progression focused on building strong fundamentals, layering in technique and strength, developing injury‑prevention habits, and giving athletes tools they can use outside of practice. You’ll train alongside other motivated athletes, building a support system that helps you push your limits and celebrate progress together. Each cycle prepares climbers for continued progression, and for those interested, competition readiness.

Open enrollment in September, after which the team will move to a quarterly try‑out system aligned with our 12‑week programming rotation.

Practices: Tuesdays 7-9pm
Cost: $80 / month

Requirements: Adult team members must have a BIB membership.

Chris Petersen

Adult Team Coach

I started climbing around age 40 and quickly became obsessed with the technical, physical, and mental challenges of the sport. Climbing has shown me that we’re capable of far more than we think when we train with intention, analyze our movement, and push past our perceived limits.

I love working with climbers who are eager to grow, challenge themselves, and discover what they can achieve. My goal as a coach is to help athletes build confidence, develop strong movement patterns, and enjoy the process of becoming better climbers.
