Join us for the annual ClimbWell Retreat for Spring 2023!
April 20-23, 2023
Join us for 4 days in the Utah desert packed with transformative workshops, world-class coaching, and rad sport climbing with new friends. Our goal is to create a space for climbers to learn, grow, connect, play, and break barriers. This will be an intimate gathering limited to 12 participants, hosted in the fresh, open air and outdoor venue of Nature.
The crag + our crash pad
Our 4 day intensive retreat will take place at Veyo in the Utah desert. Nestled along with northern reaches of the Santa Clara river, Crawdad Canyon is a truly special rock climbing destination. Established in the 1920’s, it is a local gem with over 500 routes and a 100% warm spring-fed pool for relaxation and recovery. It offers a change of pace from the typically crowded, better known climbing areas of southern Utah. Because Veyo is privately owned, our time there will be exclusive to the ClimbWell community, offering a unique opportunity to explore this special place.
Yoga
Enjoy daily yoga practice intentionally designed to enhance climber performance in mind and body. Classes are alignment-based vinyasa and incorporate breath, visualization, and somatic exercises that encourage depth of understanding and self-awareness.
On the physical level, we’ll explore the dynamic conversation between strength and flexibility in the body by targeting key muscle groups. Hint: there will be core and shoulder work! We’ll also dive into recovery and rest practice. For the mental game, expect mindfulness and breathwork tools to collaborate with the nervous system and build emotional resilience when we meet our edge.
Workshops
Workshops are the core of your ClimbWell experience. Each day we’ll do deep-dives on key topics that help you improve your mental game, develop technical and tactical skills, and show up more confidently on the rock and in life. Your workshop leaders are world-class climbers, coaches, and facilitators who draw from a unique combination of experiences at the intersection of climbing, personal development, and wellness. Plan to gain new insights about yourself and your sport, improve your mental and technical skills, and step outside your comfort zone - all with hands-on coaching and real-time practice within a supportive group.
Here’s a brief schedule of workshops:
Befriending Fear
Mental Training for Climbing
Rock-Life Balance
Performance Climbing
Making Successful Climbing Goals
Climbing
The rock climbing here is bullet-hard basalt, ranging from 5-fun to 5.13. Established primarily by local hard-man, Todd Goss, these 500 routes are a special variety of techy, powerful, cryptic, and cruise-able. As tall as 85’, sport climbs at Crawdad Canyon are long enough for us to get off the ground, but short enough that we can tick multiple great pitches in a workshop afternoon. With several walls stacked with 5.11-5.13+, we definitely found a place where the ClimbWell community can gather and climb, each navigating their own comfort zone alongside one another.
