What is the Crag Akademie?2025-07-10T15:40:21+00:00

ÜG’s Crag Akademie (ages 6-13) is a 10 week program that hopes to inspire and empower every climber to reach new heights, both on and off the wall. We strive to create a supportive and challenging environment where climbers can develop confidence, technique, and a lifelong passion for the sport. One of our key goals is to ensure that every climber learns how to belay and can successfully pass a belay test, equipping them with essential safety skills and responsibility. Additionally, we aim to prepare our climbers for a seamless transition into our Climbing Clubs, fostering resilience, teamwork, and a spirit of adventure along the way. Our coaches are dedicated to guiding each climber toward their personal best, helping them develop both as athletes and as members of our climbing community.

How does the interest list work?2025-07-10T15:13:09+00:00

The interest list gives families early access to register for our Crag Akademie classes before spots open to the general public. When a new session is announced, families on the list are texted and emailed with a link to register.

Is the interest list first-come, first-served?2025-07-10T15:13:09+00:00

Yes—within each group. We contact:

  1. ÜG Members first, in the order they joined the list

  2. Then non-members, also in the order they joined

All spots are offered on a first-come, first-served basis once registration opens.

Does my climber stay on the list once I add them?2025-07-10T15:13:09+00:00

No—the interest list resets every session.
If you don’t get a spot, you’ll need to rejoin the list to be considered for the next round. We’ll include a new interest form link in all follow-up emails.

How will I know when to register?2025-07-10T15:41:53+00:00

We’ll notify you by text and email when it’s your turn to register. Be sure to add (720) 230-6886 to your contacts so you don’t miss our messages.

What if my child is new to climbing?2025-07-10T15:13:09+00:00

No problem! While you wait for a class opening, you’re welcome to bring your child in to climb. Our staff will show you how to supervise them—no experience necessary.

ÜG Members will receive priority bookings when new classes open. Please click here to check out our monthly membership options.

**Children enrolled in programs at Übergrippen (including but not limited to Akademie, clubs, teams, camps, after school programs) will be climbing with other children. Children will often be climbing partners with each other. This means YOUR CHILD WILL BE BELAYED BY ANOTHER CHILD ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM AND YOUR CHILD WILL BELAY OTHER CHILDREN. If you are not comfortable with this, please do not enroll your child in our group programs. We offer private guided climbing (fees apply) and can also instruct parents on these same belay skills (enroll in our adult Learn to Belay class) so that you can supervise your child’s climbing experience directly.

Please email youth@ugclimbing.com if you have any questions.
