Get psyched! We're cranking nonstop to get the boards to the people, and we need your help ($!).
Help build a home for the Mammoth climbing community
Did you move to Mammoth just to quit climbing because it got too complicated to touch a rock? Do you want an easier time maintaining a climbing base during ski season? Ever wish you could go pick up new friends at the friend store?
Good news bears. Marco has emerged from the bureaucratic pain cave plastered in phone calls and emails and in need of a haircut, but otherwise victorious: the Board Room now legally and physically exists. But we need YOU to give it heart. We're building a place where you can walk in and run into friends, get psyched year-round, make new connections, lift weights, pre-hab, rehab, hold meetups, take workshops, find partners for your objectives, and most of all feel like we're a part of a climbing community. This is where you come in!
Becoming a member is the biggest thing you can do to help make the dream come alive
The Board Room will focus on membership because we are here to make a space first and foremost for our local community, and we are looking to find out who our core crew is. As a thank you to founding members, you'll get a discount on the first couple months, early access (day passes and punch cards won't be ready on day 1), a cool badge next to your name, a members' chat, and invitation to the opening party.
Founding members will directly influence the direction of the space: you tell us what you need to train and feel the warmth and welcome of community. We will consider each idea seriously. Instead of complaining into the void, you will be invited into a member group chat where you can give feedback directly. After all, this is meant to be a place for all of us.
If money is a barrier or you have questions about membership pricing, just send an email to discuss (email at bottom of website).
About the space we're building
It's going to be cosy, off Main St, and unstaffed for ease of access. There will be systems boards (Tension Board 2 aka TB2, Kilter Home Wall, ??Moon??) each with seemingly infinite routes, a squat rack and weights/stretching area, hangboards, and various rehab knick knacks.
If you haven't climbed on the TB2 before, it's REALLY fun. You are going to love it.
"Sometimes I go to an actual climbing gym and spend the entire time on the TB2, because it's SO FUN." –daiyi, world's most psyched v3 climber
"What's a TB2?" –Nico, local climber
"I think the TB2 has come up every single day of this (outdoor climbing) trip." –Cynthia, visitor & foreshadower of things to come.
"Putting my ski erg in the board room will solve my problem of owning a ski erg" –BK
Shoutout to the guy at rock creek who tipped us off on the secondhand TB2 for sale in Tahoe. If you see this, come visit when we're open!
Why you should believe in us
We are a well-rounded team with a combined 100+ years of being PSYCHED. We have a tall, medium, and small person. We have some parents, a skier, a snowboarder, and a snow-hater. This covers just about all the bases. We have a track record of doing this. If we can't open a board room in Mammoth Lakes, it's probably impossible, so let's make it happen!
