Crag Happenings
This Saturday morning, we’ll be hosting an ASCL comp. Don’t worry, we are still open for all members and guests. This youth comp has select climbs that all the kids will be focused on, so although we will be busier than normal, we will have all the auto belays available and still the majority of routes open.
So much of climbing is the friendships and community you make! Matt (the guy on the right), is one of ÜG’s owners and will be climbing these nights, trading belays, and offering help for anyone looking to get into climbing or improve upon their own skills – he’s happy to answer any climbing questions and provide free lessons during this time! No extra cost for members and day pass or punch card users are welcome to join, too!
We are open until 10pm on Friday Nights and want to give all High School kids a great location to be active and meet others for ONLY $10 after 7pm! Gear rental can be added on for another $5.

This season (Spring 2025) we are only hosting one tryout for both Castle Rock and Denver athletes and it will be held at ÜG Denver on Saturday, January 25th.
If you have a young climber that loves climbing but may not be ready for team competitions, consider getting them involved in our Clubs or even monthly Jüggerknot Climbing League that is a low stress way to get them comfortable competing and learning more along the way!
This Jüggerknot Youth Climbing League is meant to be a super low stress intro to climbing competitions for K-12 climbers! We have divisions for Elementary (Primary), Middle, and High School students, so anyone can participate.
The climbing competitions will consist of bouldering and roped climbs (only roped for primary division) as climbers work towards earning the title of “Champion” of their league division.

Terence has been working with us for the last 2.5 years, teaching a number of our adult climbing classes.

He’s been assigned to places like Las Vegas, Ohio, Georgia, The Air Force Academy, and most recently with the Pentagon.
Join us for this 45 min high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise with this full body work out! Jennifer will help get you fit in this class! It incorporates several rounds that alternate between several minutes of high intensity movements to significantly increase the heart rate followed by short periods of lower intensity movements.
Yin Yoga is deep muscular release with the lights down to create a calming environment. The idea is to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility. Poses are held for 2 to 8 minutes and is a great way to stretch bodies that are climbing often.
Let’s be honest – no one really loves core exercises after the first few minutes by themselves. But when you push through together with others for only 45 mins (including warm-up and cool-down), then it makes the core workout considerable better!
Like all our classes, you can make this as easy or hard for yourself as you want. The hardest part of this core class is just getting to this class! Join us!
Fit Flow combines aspects of toning and strengthening from fitness modalities like HIIT and calisthenics (FIT) with fluid and constant movement from power vinyasa yoga (FLOW).
